Experience a deep dive into the history of the Situation Room, also known as the “Sit Room”, during this 30-minute seated presentation. Afterward, explore the Situation Room as it was actually used by President George W. Bush.
The Sit Room was extensively renovated and upgraded in 2006 with more advanced technology. The wood-paneled walls dating to President Richard M.

Bush Presidential Museum.
