We stopped in after lunch for the Hamilton exhibit, we didnt even know this place was here. We stayed for the tour of the home, it was informative and delightful. This is honestly my new favorite museum in the District. Our docent, Dan, was engaging and a wealth of knowledge. Such an unexpected treat.

Free museum offering one-hour tours of the historic house. I found this via geocaching last year. It is worth the time.

Excellent architectural find in Washington DC. Excellent example of the Gilded Americana. Decor rivals that of Versailles!
