Georgetown is a community of beautiful homes, but none as stately as Dumbarton House. Built in the Federal style in 1799, Dumbarton House is so beloved for its architecture and history that when it was discovered that it would have to be destroyed to make room for a new bridge in 1915, the home was instead moved intact to its present location! The home was again rescued by the National Association of Colonial Dames, and had it restored to its current beauty. Come into Dumbarton House and go back in time to the early 1800s, when Washington was a new city and seat of a new nation. Furnishings of the period give the home that special touch, and the tours by volunteers will make this visit complete. And the price is reasonable – just $5 for adults, with discounts for AAA members and free admission for students and other members.
