Please note: the elevator will be out of service Thursday, November 14th through Saturday, November 16th. Guests will have to use a minimal amount of stairs on tour during this time.

Starting on Thursday, November 14th, the Heurich House Museum will offer 30 minute tours of the 1st floor of the historic house decorated for the holiday season. 

Explore the lives of turn-of-the-century Washingtonians on a tour of the historic home of brewer and immigrant Christian Heurich.

This program is part Maker Month, a month-long celebration of local makers from November 15th to December 13th. The month culminates in the Heurich House Museum’s 12th annual Christmas Markt, which, for the first time, is happening for an entire week.

Maker Month & Christmas Markt are the museum’s largest annual fundraiser, and they provide a year’s worth of support to our Urban Manufacturing Incubator program. The Museum’s Incubator program builds upon the 130 year legacy of craftspeople and makers at the Heurich House - those who designed, built, and decorated the historic home, and those who the museum has helped over the last decade.
