Many people don't realize that the White House is a unit of the U.S. National Park System. But in many ways, the White House's history, symbolism, and cultural significance make it a perfect candidate for inclusion in the National Park System.
In this video, I explain the reasons why the White House is a National Park. Starting with a brief history of the White House, I then discuss the general criteria for how places become National Parks, before moving onto the criteria for the White House and President's Park specifically.
The White House is such a unique and interesting part of the National Park System given the multitude of functions it serves. On one hand, it's the heart of the United States Executive Branch, but on the other, the White House Grounds are a vital recreation area in Washington D.C. These juxtapositions in many ways justify its inclusion to the National Park System, as they reflect the diversity of experiences and viewpoints of the American people themselves.
I had a great time researching this episode and I hope you'll enjoy Why the White House is a National Park!
