Reviews
"This place is amazing, the tour guide Ana did a fantastic job and explained everything so well, you can feel her passion and admiration for this place, I’m very happy I could visit it in the end."
"Stunning and historic home in the heart of DC. Great tours, though the time is limited and the tour guide is certainly quirky."
"We stopped in after lunch for the Hamilton exhibit, we didnt even know this place was here. We stayed for the tour of the home, it was informative and delightful. This is honestly my new favorite museum in the District. Our docent, Dan, was engaging and a wealth of knowledge. Such an unexpected treat."
"Spent more than 2 hours in the home! It’s an absolute pleasure to explore this beautiful home and the history behind Cincinnati Society. Loved it all, highly recommend especially on a rainy day. Established in 1783, as the American War for Independence drew to a close, the Society of the Cincinnati is the oldest private patriotic organization in the United States. The Society is also our nation's first hereditary organization. The founders of the Society assigned their descendants the task of preserving the memory of the patriotic sacrifices that made American liberty a reality."
"Nice free museum and toue located on embassy row. Great to check out while taking a walk through the beautiful neighborhood. Takes about an hour on the tour and you get to see the beautiful house."
