Visiting Tudor Place

A model of Federal-period architecture in the nation’s capital, Tudor Place was home to six generations of Martha Washington’s descendants from 1805 to 1983. Their stories and those of the servants and enslaved workers who served the Peter family are told alongside thousands of decorative objects, including the largest Washington Collection outside of Mount Vernon. The 5 ½ acre garden is inspired by formal and informal European landscape styles, with specimen trees, open lawns, roses and heirloom shrubs.

All visitors must check in at the Visitor’s Center.
