The Ronald Reagan Library and Museum welcomes the George Washington Teacher Institute in cooperation with the Mt. Vernon Ladies Association to the Situation Room Experience.

In our historic simulation, The Situation Room Experience: George Washington’s Cabinet, we look to the past to educate the leaders of the future, and there's no better teacher than America's founders.

Throughout the simulation players take on the role of real life historical figures - whether you're on the Senate floor defending the interests of your state, a reporter publishing the current events in America's cities, a Native American leader seeking to defend your ancestral homelands, or alongside the President in the Cabinet, there is a role for every player.

If your high school, college, or company is interested in being a part of the experience, contact us at [email protected] to reserve your spot today!
