The tour starts with a display of Presidential limosines and carriages.
A very popular display is the limosine that President Kennedy was riding in on November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas Tx. Visitors are permitted to walk around the entire vehicle to get a close encounter with the vehicle that carried the President on that fateful day in 1963. Other Presidential vehicles and carriages were on display. Some date back to early 1900s.
