Tudor Place Historic House and Garden, a 5 acre estate built in 1816, is one of Washington, DC's hidden gems. Located in Georgetown's Historic District, this National Historic Landmark, was originally owned by Martha Custis Peter, the granddaughter of Martha Washington, and housed six generations of the Peter family over the course of 180 years.

Now, open to the public, Tudor Place is a fine example of neoclassical architecture with a distinguished collection of decorative arts and a beautifully landscaped garden.

The Tudor Place collection includes more than 8000 objects from the period 1750-1983, including silver, ceramics, jewelry, paintings, drawings, sculpture, photographs, manuscripts and furniture. The early-19th century style garden features a Bowling Green, Tennis Lawn, Flower Knot, Boxwood Ellipse, Japanese Tea House and Tulip Poplar.
