An Invitation

MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Dumbarton House museum, a Federal Period historic house, ca. 1800, is to preserve the historic structure and its collections and to educate the public about life in Washington, DC, during the early years of the Republic. Emphasis is placed on Joseph Nourse, first Register of the Treasury, and his family, and their occupation of the property from 1804 through 1813.

Dumbarton House is supported by The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America (The NSCDA), grants, tour admissions, Gift Shop sales, and events rentals.

As one of just a few museums in our Nation's Capital focused on its important Federal era, we invite you to help sustain Dumbarton House in its mission by joining as a Museum Member.

Museum Members enjoy a range of benefits in concert with our regular programs including discounts to special tours, free concerts, lectures, tastings, cotillion classes, summer camps, & private rental.
