Tour the Historic Decatur House (For Free!)

A fixture of the president’s neighborhood since 1818, Decatur House has been home to foreign and American dignitaries, secretaries of state, members of Congress, and a vice president, in addition to numerous free and enslaved servants who played a pivotal role in shaping America. Visit and explore the nearly 200-year history of Decatur House and its Slave Quarters, the only existing slave quarters within sight of the White House and learn more about the many additional programs and offerings of the Association.

Tours begin at 1610 H Street, NW at 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and last approximately one hour. Please note that tours DO NOT start at the front entrance to Decatur House. Instead, they start around the corner at our 1610 H Street entrance.

Tours will be capped at 15 visitors. Reservations on EventBrite are required to join the tours.
