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.

The museum is awesome. So much to see & experience. It's needs another visit.

The adventure starts with the website, which uses an alternate site organization structure that many of us have become accustomed to. This diversity of thinking permeates throughout the experience to the museum itself. The experience is a celebration in alternative thinking. As to the hosts, I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted at the door by the owners and humbled to receive such a personal welcome (as well as tips on where to get excellent food as we waited for friends).

Surprisingly educational experience with a deep history rooted in major events in America, as well as plentiful noteworthy individuals who either have stayed at the mansion, have photos there, or just have provided interesting memorabilia of some sort in general that adds even more discovery to the desire to try and find every hidden door. Overall, very fun and rewarding when you find a hidden door! Super simple and works just as well for a date as it does for a fun family outing.
