President's House, Historic mansion at Market Street, Philadelphia, US.
The President's House features exposed archaeological foundations and exhibits documenting the early American executive residence at the intersection of 6th and Market Streets.
Between 1790 and 1800, Presidents George Washington and John Adams resided in this executive mansion while Philadelphia served as the temporary capital of the United States.
The memorial presents the stories of nine enslaved Africans who worked in the household during Washington's presidency through video displays and interpretive exhibits.
The open-air exhibition operates daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM without admission fees, offering wheelchair access and captioned presentations for all visitors.
Archaeological excavations in the early 2000s revealed the original kitchen foundations where enslaved staff members prepared meals for presidential households and diplomatic gatherings.
