Washington, DC – The Tudor Place Board of Trustees and Co-Chairs Charlotte Grassi Ramirez and Gwendolyn Lohse Assey are pleased to announce the Spring Garden Party will be held on Wednesday, May 21. Each year, the Spring Garden Party recognizes an instrumental figure, who has been stalwart in the support of Tudor Place and the community who inspires others to engage with and support historic preservation.

This year’s event will honor Mrs. Beverly Jost, a passionate advocate for conserving Georgetown’s history. Mrs. Jost served with distinction on the Board of Trustees of Tudor Place for nine years, including three as President. Beverly has shared a profound respect for the past, working tirelessly for over 35 years promoting historic preservation and the beauty of Georgetown. “I believe in the importance of historic houses to provide an intimate glimpse into the past, and Tudor Place plays that role in Washington, DC.”

The Spring Garden Party celebrates Tudor Place’s ongoing commitment to historic preservation, conservation and dynamic educational programming. As the institution’s most important fundraiser of the year, proceeds account for over 20% of annual operating revenue.

Tudor Place expresses gratitude to its lead sponsors including Washington Fine Properties, the Prince Charitable Trusts, Michael Rankin-TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, SR Evermay, Cooke & Bieler LLP and Tuckernuck. A full list of host committee members, family supporters and corporate partners can be found at https://tudorplace.org/join-and-give/spring-garden-party/ and https://tudorplace.org/join-and-give/spring-garden-party/sponsors/.
