Ever wonder what the inside of The White House really looks like? 

Whether you voted right or left in November’s presidential election, you don't have to travel to Washington to peek inside "the first mansion."

"Our motto is, when in Florida, visit The White House,” said Joy England, the manager of the Presidents Hall of Fame in Clermont. 

Joy England is part-curator, part-tour guide and part-presidential enthusiast.

Sitting 870 miles south of Washington, D.C. under Lake County’s Citrus Tower on U.S. 27 awaits a White House of another kind.

"We get people from all over the world,” Joy said.  “They will call and ask, Is the White House replica there?"

Indeed, it is. A traveling exhibit at one time, popular with presidential libraries, the sprawling model is now at its permanent residence in Clermont.

"You get to see all the rooms on the south side of the White House,” Joy commented on how the exterior walls on the model are missing, thus allowing visitors an unhindered look inside.

Researched and built by John Zweifel, you can see inside where a state dinner is set, the family's personal quarters are open and the Lincoln bedroom sits ready for guests. A second model shows how The White House was built. 

Also on display, reproductions of the gowns worn by First Ladies, collectors dolls showing the fashion of Jackie Kennedy and even furniture from the Kennedy's time in the White House.

You can also sit behind a replica of the Resolute Desk, made famous in the photo of John F. Kennedy, Jr. playing at his father's feet.

A large collection of White House china dating back 100 years includes some special Ronald Reagan drinkwear.

"When he and Gorbachev signed a peace summit, we have the toasting glasses,” Joy goes on to say that Zweifel thinks the glasses still have DNA on them.

Reproductions of Abraham Lincoln's death masks and new merchandise are all here. A “talking pen” features Donald Trump’s face, uttering several of the key phases the president-elect uttered on the campaign trail.

"The greatest president that God ever created,” the pen says when pushed.

This treasure trove is dedicated to the house of America's first families.
