A Window on Early Washington

Constructed in 1799, Dumbarton House is one of Washington DC’s finest extant examples of Federal architecture. Today, the first floor of the house is furnished to interpret domestic life and civic leadership in the early 19th century. Through tours, lectures, and cultural programs, we serve as a historical resource for the Georgetown and greater Washington D.C. communities. Your support is essential, and you can be a part of our next chapter!
