Be Washington is an excellent example of bringing historical education to life in a present-time environment” -Thea Committee
Be Washington invites visitors to step into Washington’s shoes and experience first-hand, four historical scenarios that Washington faced as both General and President. The interactive theater features a 30 foot, 6k LED wall and 18 touchscreen desks that enable guests to interact with the films. Visitors are able to quickly consult some of Washington’s most trusted advisers and rate their agreement with each advisor. Each scenario ends by asking visitors how they would resolve the situation and lets them compare their choice against that of George Washington’s.
