Historic House Museum Consortium

The national capital region of Washington, D.C., northern Virginia and suburban Maryland is home to The Historic House Museum Consortium of Metropolitan Washington D.C., a diverse collection of 34 sites open to the public as museums and historic attractions.

Ranging from the homes of three presidents – including the White House – to the site of an infamous presidential assassination to homes lived in by abolitionists and civil rights leaders, suffragettes and diplomats, patriots, generals, a naval hero, and founding fathers and mothers, the Historic House Consortium of Metropolitan Washington D.C., offers a wide variety of
experiences.

Featuring an amazing array of American architectural styles from the Colonial and Federal periods to a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, home types include small farmsteads, stately plantations, urban row houses, a home in a 1930’s planned community, and of course magnificent mansions and country estates!
