About this Event

This is a don't miss private tour! Located just off Dupont Circle, the 1893 Whittemore House mansion houses The Woman’s National Democratic Club (WNDC) and hosts private events. This tour is free of charge.

The WNDC Museum is housed in a landmark 19th-century residence, originally built for Sarah Adams Whittemore, an opera singer and member of the distinguished Adams family of Massachusetts.

The building, designed by Harvey Page, is informally called The Whittemore House.

Significant interior features include the Arts and Crafts foyer and stairwell and an elaborate plaster ceiling in the former music room, now the Hamlin Room.

In addition to its architecture, The Whittemore House contains a rich permanent collection of fine art and furniture. The WNDC Ballroom and art galleries feature rotating exhibitions from Washington-area artists.

This rare tour is officially hosted by Go Gay DC, Metropolitan Washington, DC's inclusive LGBTQ+ community focused on friendship, leadership, and service. It now reaches over 10K fabulous people and is growing fast. Visit http://www.gogaydc.com

Go Gay DC leader will be there to greet you. Name tags will be provided.

Casual attire is fine.

Feel free to invite all your friends to join you there.

Parking is usually available nearby on the residential side streets. See the directions.

Metro Directions: Be eco-friendly. Dupont Circle Metro station North exit on the Red line is the closest Metro stop.

Plan to arrive promptly by 7:00 p.m. When you arrive, ask for David Hoffman, the club member who is the tour leader. (Note: Preceding the tour is an optional postcard campaign starting at 6 p.m. hosted by WDNC that you may opt to attend. Ask for David Hoffman when you arrive. Pizza will be served at that!)

There's no need to print out and show your Eventbrite ticket.

Please be sure to tag any event photos on social with #gogaydc

This event is a safe, inclusive space for everyone under the rainbow. This event is for all ages. Remember to bring your ID, as everyone who wishes to drink alcohol at the bar is carded of course.
