"Celebrate The Spirit Of America" as the White House comes to Washington County Fair Park in West Bend, Wisconsin.

Over 50 million people have seen this authentic White House replica, the precise one-inch-to-one-foot scale home of the President of the United States. This miniature architectural phenomenon was the dream child of Wisconsin native John Zweifel, and required years of painstaking research and over 400,000 man-hours to build. This exact model spans over 60 feet from its east to west wing and accurately represents the Executive Mansion as it stands today during the George W. Bush administration.

Hand-carved furniture was constructed from the same woods used in the original pieces. Every tiny painting matches the exact colors and textures of the original works. Drapes and bed spreads are duplicated down to the last tassle. Most incredible are telephones that ring, quarter-inch televisions that work, miniature clocks that keep time, hundreds of tiny lights that illuminate delicate chandeliers and wall switches that turn on and off.

Experience this great symbol of America as we anticipate the election of a new President who will take residency in the White House in January, 2009. In addition to the Replica White House, other memorabilia will be on display, including statues and biographies of all 43 Presidents, as well as a presidential limousine.

Please take this opportunity to see an unmatched historical display, as it will never return to Wisconsin. This exhibit will be permanently housed in Washington, D.C.
