COME SEE THE PRESIDENTS HEADS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL DURING PRESIDENTS DAY WEEKEND!
Several remnants from the original tourist attraction that was open from 2004-2010 will be on display as accompaniments to the 42 decaying sculptures that have now fallen into a significant state of disrepair. The mementos that will be on display include several of the original placards, park signage, vintage Park images,an authentic First Lady dress and much more.
In addition to opportunities to take pictures of the sculptures, interesting facts and stories will be shared amongst our guests throughout the day. Presidential trivia with PRIZES will be held during several sessions. Additionally, merchandise such as prints, puzzles, magnets, books and other souvenirs will also be available for sale from two of Virginia's premier "abandonment artists".

Are the General Admission tours 2 hours in duration? The tours are NOT two hours long, rather a two hour window of opportunity for you to visit.

Can I take pictures or fly a drone? Photography is allowed during the tours as long as etiquette is exercised. Drones may NOT be flown during the speaking sessions.
