The President’s House Heritage Tour and Exhibition

Jun 23, 2026

The President’s House Heritage Tour and Exhibition

As part of the commemorations marking the 150th anniversary of The President’s House and the 50th anniversary of the Presidency, members of the public are invited to participate in a Special Anniversary Public Heritage Tour and Exhibition, taking place August 17 to 21 and August 24 to 28, 2026.

This unique opportunity will allow visitors to explore one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most significant national landmarks and gain a deeper appreciation of its history, architecture, and evolving role in the life of the nation.

Completed in 1876, The President’s House has witnessed generations of national development and historic change. From its origins as the residence of colonial governors to its present role as the official residence of the President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the building stands as a symbol of our nation’s journey from colonial rule to sovereign statehood.

Individuals, families, and groups of up to ten (10) persons are welcome to apply for these special anniversary tours. Each guided tour will last approximately one and a half hours and will provide visitors with the opportunity to learn more about the history of The President’s House, the Office of the President, and the constitutional role of the Presidency.

While the Office of the President ordinarily offers public tours on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the year, The President’s House Heritage Tour and Exhibition will provide expanded opportunities for members of the public to visit and experience this important national institution during the commemorative period.

Emrold Anthony Phillip, better known as Brother Valentino, was a veteran calypsonian known for his social commentary and forthright compositions addressing the concerns of ordinary people.Born in Grenada on 7 July 1941, he came to Trinidad at the age of five and began performing in calypso tents in the early 1960s. Over the decades that followed, he built a reputation as a calypsonian unafraid to use his music to question, challenge and comment on the world around him, earning the title, "The People’s Calypsonian."His music gained particular resonance during the social and political changes of the 1970s. Songs such as Stay Up Zimbabwe, Ah Wo (Brand New Revolution), Life Is a Stage, Barking Dogs and Dis Place Nice became defining works in his repertoire. In 2012, Brother Valentino was conferred with the Hummingbird Medal (Gold) for his contributions to Trinidad and Tobago in the sphere of culture. Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo, ORTT, President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, extends sincere condolences to his family, friends and fellow calypsonians, and joins the nation in honouring his contribution to the cultural heritage of Trinidad and Tobago. ...
