As they tell you when you go, this is THE hidden gem of DC. I lived in DC for 4 years and had no idea it existed! The Mansion is filled with so many unique and beautiful items: furniture, books, art, appliances, you name it! I felt like I was in a live version of an I Spy book and had the time of my life. The history is so rich, and I was truly in awe the entire time I was exploring.

It was really fun to try and find all the hidden doors! My family and I loved it!

This was awesome!

OMG! This museum was the highlight of our visit. We came for the Cherry Blossom festival but made a point to visit museums and so very glad this one was on the list. It was the first stop of the weekend and nothing else compared. I have an 11 year old son and for him it became a competition of who could find the most secret doors. I think we ultimately tied but he was happy to tell other visitors when he was ahead. An additional highlight was meeting and chatting with HH. Talked to Ted as well but didn't realize it was him. He told me a funny story about one of the secret doors I asked him about and then shared a YouTube video with us to go with the story. They are so down to earth and it added to the experience. I also appreciate HH signing a couple books to me and the message she wrote.The staff we interacted with were great also. Great sense of humor and willing to provide a nugget or two of information about the mansion but they didn't give anything away.It is a must visit and will be on my list for every trip to Washington.
