Tudor Place ranks among the top ten ‘Hamilton’-inspired things to do in Washington, DC right now. Currently on display in one of the second floor bedrooms, are two artifacts associated with Alexander Hamilton’s widow, Eliza. These objects will be exhibited through October 9, 2022 coinciding with the Kennedy Center’s performance of Hamilton. For more info, check out John Kelly’s article from the Washington Post on How does Eliza Hamilton end up in Washington? Here’s how.
From a smash-hit musical to museum exhibits to related relics, “Hamilton” lovers can get the full fan experience in DC. Don’t throw away your shot to experience Broadway’s award-winning Hamilton: An American Musical as it returns to the Kennedy Center Aug. 2—Oct. 9. Hamilton left an indelible mark on the nation’s capital, where he’s been immortalized at the Treasury Building and as the president general of the Society of the Cincinnati. Whether you want to continue your adventures after attending Hamilton at the Kennedy Center or you just want to celebrate the founder of our national banking system, we’ve got some great ideas for you.

If you’ve passed in front of the Dower House, Tudor Place’s administrative building at 1670 31st Street, you’ve seen this tiny boxed library out front. Surrounded by a variety of blooming flowers and plantings, Tudor Place’s Little Free Library is depleted and filled up again. Note it’s structure and roofline. Painted in the trompe l’oeil style by Artist-in-residence Peter Waddell, it’s like a mini-Dower House, that is visited almost as much as the historic house & garden itself.
Katherine Schwartz reports on these tiny boxed libraries you’ve seen sprinkled around Georgetown [that] are not just local gems, but part of a global book-sharing community. Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization with more than 150,000 registered book-sharing boxes worldwide. Founder Tod H. Bol planted the first Little Free Library in 2009, then turned it into a non-profit. The organization shares more than 70 million books per year, promoting its core values of “building together, inspiring readers, and expanding book access for all.”
As an historic site that bears the scars of slavery, Tudor Place seeks to look this injustice in the eye. Click here to learn more.
