About Maker-Led Workshops:

Heurich Urban Manufacturing Incubator:

The Urban Manufacturing Incubator is rooted in the museum’s belief that house museums should be dynamic and relevant to our modern communities. The mission of the Incubator is to provide economic opportunities to our local small-scale manufacturing communities through: appropriate interventions in business life cycles, collective action, and social enterprises. The local small-scale manufacturing community in DC is composed of two groups: Artisan Makers + Craft Beverage Producers. These groups are directly related to Heurich history - the historic mansion was built and decorated by local craftspeople from 1892-1894 and the Chr. Heurich Brewing Co. (1872-1956) produced DC’s hometown beer brand for over 80 years.
