Smithsonian Channel: White House Revealed

It's the world's most powerful residence, where decisions affecting millions of Americans are made. But the White House is also home-a warm and welcoming refuge for the presidential family.

Join us on an insider's tour to meet the people who make the world's most famous house a home. Loyal staff — maids, assistants, ushers, valets, butlers, chefs, plumbers, engineers, florists and others who have worked under multiple presidents — share unique and personal views on everything from first pets to first family birthday parties, preparations for inauguration, behind-the-scenes views of world-altering events ... even presidential scandals.

With a wealth of still photos, oral histories, video footage and exclusive interviews, White House Revealed recounts decades of fascinating, behind-the-scenes stories. Narrated by Martin Sheen and features/featuring an interview with the 41st President, George H.W. Bush.
