Join curator and architectural historian Jason Vaughan for a behind-the-scenes look at the historic bank buildings that now house the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream.
The tour will explore our two grand halls, formerly the Riggs Bank and American Securities & Trust Company, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You’ll get a close-up look at the original bank vaults, journey through our lower level now transformed into a 200-seat theater, and see how a once-narrow alley became a sunlit atrium at the heart of the Center.
This tour is included with your November 12 general admission ticket. Reserve your free ticket today!
