Presidential Inaugurations January 21, 2009

The history of Presidential Inaugurations for more than 200 years can be revisited in this exhibit on display at the White House Visitor Center. Since 1801, a Presidential Inauguration has been held in Washington, D.C., the culmination of our electoral process. Some of these marked a change of president and even a change of the political party in power, while others were second inaugurations for incumbent presidents.
