Stepping through the doors of The President's House is about more than exploring a historic buildingโit's about discovering the story of our nation.Students from Pranava Educational Institute, St Andrew's Primary School, and T.M.L. Primary School, Libertville recently joined us for guided tours of The President's House and grounds, where they learned about the building's rich history and the role of the President in Trinidad and Tobago's national life.We look forward to welcoming many more students through our doors.๐ธ For more photos from these tours, please click the link below.www.flickr.com/photos/160414226@N06/albums/...

As part of its observance of African Emancipation Day 2026, the Office of the President welcomed students, members of the Diplomatic Corps, and representatives of the Emancipation Support Committee of Trinidad and Tobago to The Presidentโs House for a special performance of Freedom Morning Come, written by Eintou Pearl Springer and performed by the Idakeda Group.An imagined conversation between enslaved Africans awaiting the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1834, Freedom Morning Come has been performed annually for more than a decade at the original site of the Proclamationโs reading in Port of Spain.This yearโs presentation held particular significance as it formed part of the 150th Anniversary observance of The Presidentโs House, which stands on lands formerly known as the Paradise Estate, once a slave-worked sugar plantation.The performance reflects Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo ORTT, President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobagoโs commitment, expressed in her Inaugural Address, to open The Presidentโs House to activities that promote youth development and empowerment, as well as cultural, educational, and intellectual engagement.๐ธ See the full album:https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjCYe1s ...
