Story

America's Story Lives Here! A National Historic Landmark, Tudor Place holds two centuries of history and family life and the largest collection outside Mount Vernon of items tied to George and Martha Washington. The estate was built in 1816 by an early Washington "power couple," Martha Washington's granddaughter, Martha Custis Peter, and her husband, Thomas, whose landowner father, a Scottish immigrant, was Georgetown's first mayor. Their estate, with its famed Neoclassical dome and 5.5 acres of landscaped gardens, was home to six generations of their descendants and many workers, free and enslaved, before opening to the public. Hear their stories. Walk through their history. Guided house tours offered hourly, Tues-Sunday. Events + programs throughout the year found @ www.tudorplace.org/programs.

My wife and I had a great time touring Tudor place. Fran was a fantastic guide who is not only extremely knowledgeable but also very passionate about conveying the legacy the family wanted to preserve by creating this estate. Even though the website says the tour lasts 45 minutes, it does last longer (went over an hour). We were both interested in asking more questions when it was over and since it was her last tour of the day, she accommodated us and took us through again. If you are interested in history, this is a must do tour! Thank you Fran!

They only do guided tours of the house, but they very informative. The house is in beautiful condition, but not fully air conditioned. They have fans for use during your visit, which are very nice. It's a great way to see DC's history that is off the beaten path.

After 4 pm they close. Beautiful garden anyway, peacefully looking, but the street noise is louder than ideal. Lots of sign explain what can be seen. The house itself was already closed when I arrived. From the outside it looks historical.
