Visit the Horse Stables at the U.S. Caisson Platoon of The Old Guard

Head to Joint Base Ft. Myer-Henderson Hall for a look into history and tradition of the U.S. Army’s Old Guard.

There are around 60 horses on the team and nearly that many soldiers that train and prepare them. Contact us to schedule a tour.

Take a Private Tour of the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial

Don’t just visit the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, arrange for a powerful docent-led tour. Many docents have a personal connection to the 9/11 attacks and will not only shed light on the series of events that led up to them, but provide a personal perspective on the events of the day.

The docents will also share some information about the victims of the attack and the symbolic design of the memorial. It is an experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on your gathering. Contact us to set up a docent-led tour during your meeting or event.
