D.C. Students at the Capitol
Congresswoman Norton welcomes groups of children and adults from schools, programs, religious organizations and more to visit her Capitol Hill Office. To set up a visit to the Congresswoman’s office, please email Sullivan.Gassmann@mail.house.gov.
To set up a tour of the Capitol, please visit the Capitol Visitors Center website. If the dates you are looking for are unavailable, please call (202) 225-8050.
If you want to learn more about the U.S. Capitol but aren't able to take a guided tour, check out Exhibition Hall and the Democracy Lab.
To obtain gallery passes for the House and Senate, please visit our office during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 9:00AM-5:00PM).
**Note: Reserved congressional tours are offered Monday through Friday, from 9am-3pm. Please give several dates that your group would be able to participate in the program, and indicate the earliest time you can arrive at the Capitol for your tour. In order to ensure that we can accommodate your group, please submit your request a month in advance of your first tour date.
Congress is usually not in session on Mondays or Fridays, so there would be no debate on either the House and Senate floors.
Please allow at least two hours for your group to complete these activities.
