TOUR UPDATES | 2020-09-22 | 2020 | 2020-09 | Republican | Senate | GA | Rob Woodall | W000810 | woodall.house.gov | legacy | As you may know, several popular tourist sites continue to be closed to the publicdue to concerns about COVID-19. While the White House recently opened for tours on Fridays and Saturdays with limited visitor capacity, the U.S. Capitol Building, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court remain closed to the public until further notice. My staff and I miss welcoming visitors from the Seventh District, and together we have explored safe and creative ways to welcome our friends and neighbors back to Washington as it begins to reopen. To accommodate the Capitol's COVID-19 safety guidelines, I would like to officially announce the launch of outdoor tours of the Capitol Hill grounds. Visitors will have the chance to see and learn more about the history of Congress and the U.S. Capitol in an hour-long outdoor tour led by a member of my personal staff. The tour will be conducted using appropriate social distancing, mask wearing, and hand sanitizing procedures. There is truly no better way to learn about our government than a visit to Capitol Hill, which is why I look forward to safely welcoming visitors back to DC in the coming days. If you would like to request a tour of the White House or Capitol Hill grounds, please visit the tour page on my website. If you have any questions regarding this update, please do not hesitate to reach out to my staff at 202-225-4272. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
