Miniature Whitehouse
The model is worth the price of admission unfortunately the rest of the “museum” is a disorganized mess. It’s a shame there is a lot of potential there.
The commentary from a “guide” who hated the Kennedy family, having a particular dislike for Jackie, and adored the Trumps did not in any way make the visit more enjoyable.
“The House of Presidents proved successful and remained in operation under the original concept until the 1990s, when John and Jan Zweifel purchased it. John Zweifel had been creating miniatures of historic sites since childhood; after his marriage to Jan in 1959, the couple built a business that crafted Christmas displays for major department stores in Chicago and other cities, as well as exhibits for various clients. They moved to Central Florida in the 1970s. As the new owners of the House of Presidents, the Zweifels added a massive scale model of the White House that became the museum’s new centerpiece. They also gave the attraction a new name – the Presidents Hall of Fame – to mark their expanded concept.”
