TUDOR PLACE | OPEN Tuesday – Saturday 10 am – 4 pm and Sunday Noon – 4pm. Click for info.

Mission

Tudor Place preserves the stories of six generations of descendants of Martha Washington and the enslaved and free people who lived and worked at this Georgetown landmark for nearly two centuries. By examining their legacy, we challenge ourselves and our visitors to celebrate the triumphs and confront the complexities of the past. Tudor Place attains this mission through the following endeavors:

  • Preservation

As a pioneer in historic preservation and a recognized leader in the care of collections, Tudor Place is committed to providing the highest level of stewardship for the historic architecture, objects, documents and landscapes that tell the story of this National Historic Landmark.

  • Education 

Through tours, programs, scholarship and educational partnerships, Tudor Place interprets its historical resources to advance the public’s understanding of the past.

  • Rejuvenation

With 5 1/2 acres of gardens and grounds, Tudor Place provides an unexpected retreat for contemplation and healing in a restless city.

  • Community Engagement

Through activities for children and families, Tudor Place builds lasting memories and cultivates the next generation of cultural stewards.

Vision

An honest look at the past to realize a better future.
