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.

I want to tell you again how much i enjoyed this weekend. I'm so grateful for the hospitality shown me by Ted and H. The entire weekend was a spectacle for the eyes and a total revelation for the ears!! I'm much obliged for that journey.

First time visitor and my family was blown away by the uniqueness of this museum. Hunting for the secret doors and the "gems" on the sheet kept us engaged from the moment we stepped off the elevator on the fourth floor until we left 2:5 hours later. Having found 17 hidden doors, my family felt like real sleuths. What a treasure O Street Mansion is! We can't wait to bring our friends and come back again to explore more.
