Original Title: TIL the White House was open to the public until the early 20th century. In 1829, 20,000 citizens followed President Andrew Jackson back after his inauguration. The rowdy crowd packed the White House, forcing Jackson to flee to a hotel. Aides eventually lured them out with tubs of whiskey and OJ.
