Experience the history and splendor of Gilded Age Washington at Anderson House, a 1905 Beaux Arts mansion built as the winter home of Larz Anderson, an American diplomat, and his wife, Isabel. Designed by the Boston firm of Arthur Little & Herbert Browne, the house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
The Andersons built their Washington home primarily for entertaining. From 1905 to 1937, they hosted diplomatic and inaugural receptions, formal dinners and luncheons, and concerts. The Andersons' guest lists included the most prominent statesmen and intellectuals from the United States and abroad, including William H. Taft, Calvin Coolidge, and Winston Churchill. Anderson House is furnished with art and artifacts gathered by Larz and Isabel during numerous trips around the world, including English paintings, French furniture, Flemish tapestries, and a collection of Asian ivories, lacquerware, screens, and sculptures.
When Larz Anderson died in 1937 with no children, his widow oversaw the gift of Anderson House and much of its original furnishings to The Society of the Cincinnati, a patriotic organization of which Larz had been a devoted member. Founded in 1783 by George Washington and other officers of the Continental Army, the Society is now a non-profit historical organization devoted to preserving the memory of the American Revolution. Anderson House offers guided tours, a changing exhibition gallery, a research library, and public programs.

Circa 1800, Dumbarton House is a premiere example of Federal period architecture that features 18th- and 19th-century furniture and decorative arts (paintings, textiles, silver, and ceramics) made and used during the Republic's formative years. The Federal government and its many civil servants moved to Washington in 1800, and it was the family of Joseph Nourse, America's First Civil Servant (as the first Register of the U.S. Treasury), that lived in the home 1804-1814. The next resident, Charles Carroll, harbored the "President's Lady," Dolley Madison, in August 1814 fleeing from the burning White House and invading British troops. Since 1932, Dumbarton House has been the headquarters of The National Society of Colonial Dames of America, a patriotic non-profit organization founded in 1891 to collect and preserve objects of significant historical interest and to educate citizens about them.
Dumbarton House is accredited by the American Association of Museums, and hosts a regular schedule of programs including special exhibitions and tours, free concerts, lectures, tastings, school and scout programs, cotillion classes, and summer camps. Public tours are Tuesdays through Saturdays, with 45-minute tours hourly 10am-1pm (extended hours may be offered so call, or check the website, for most current tour options).
Admission: Adults/Seniors $5.00; children, youth, and students-with-ID are always free.

Explore the technology and science behind fighting and solving crimes, discover the heroes of law enforcement, and venture into the dark side of the criminal mind through this intensely interactive experience. The National Museum of Crime & Punishment, located in downtown Washington, D.C., includes a crime scene lab, the filming studios for Americas Most Wanted with host John Walsh, and a retail store called - The Cop Shop. Described by Good Morning America as a must see for CSI fans, the new museum also includes high-speed police-chase simulators, a simulated FBI shooting range, John Dillingers car, and hundreds of interactives and artifacts.
Once visitors pass through a medieval dungeon portal, the history of crime and punishment in America unfolds beginning with colonial times. The cast of disreputable characters includes pirates, Wild West outlaws, gangsters, the Mob, and white collar criminals in pursuit of identity theft. An alley crime scene leads straight into a police station where visitors are booked and fingerprinted. The punishment gallery includes celebrity mug shots, a lie detector test, police line-up, and a re-creation of Al Capones jail cell.
The crime fighting gallery celebrates the courage of all members of law enforcement. An entire level of the museum is devoted to the CSI experience, where visitors come across the scene of a violent crime and utilize forensic science techniques to solve the case, from blood analysis to ballistics.
