House Tours

Explore the lives of turn-of-the-century Washingtonians on a tour of the historic home of brewer and immigrant Christian Heurich. Step back in time to the year 1894, and see things from the eyes of household staff, Heurich brewery workers, the craftspeople who built his home, the brewer himself, and his wife Amelia.

The museum's Education Fellows have designed their own tours based on individual archival research, so each tour experience will be unique!

RULES

• Pre-registration only, no walk-ins
