The Heurich House Museum invites you to a Candlelight Tour and winter celebration at one of the most intact Victorian houes in the country. Wander throughout the mansion and experience the house as the Heurichs would have - filled with red and gold, a giant Christmas tree, and hand-made family ornaments. Kids and adults will enjoy the musical performance by the Washington Sangerbund, a historic German singing group, and a special appearance by Father Christmas. Refreshments will be provided. Contact info@heurichhouse.org with questions.
This tour delivers the goods. Being raised just outside of washington d.c. (Bethesda), I've gone on innumerable DC sightseeing tours in my lifetime. Every time a family friend or relative visited from out of town meant another trip down to the Mall, another sightseeing tour. Monument tours, ghost tours, "Duck" tours, you name it I've done it. But out of all the DC tours I've been on this was one of the best. I went last weekend with my nieces and nephews on the Capitol Hill tour, which lasted a little over two hours. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the historic sites and presented the information in a fun and lively manner. His enthusiam for the subject was infectious. He had my nieces and nephews in rapt atttention from start to finish. Highly recommend.
