 | | The Octagon Museum The Octagon Museum is at 1799 New York Avenue, NW in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, DC. President James Madison and his wife, Dolley moved into the Octagon in September 1814, after the burning of the White House by the British. President Madison ratified the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812, at the Octagon in February 1815. Declared a National Historic Landmark, the Octagon opened as a museum in 1970 and is administered by the American Institute of Architects Foundation. The site offers self-guided tours, permanent and changing exhibitions, public programming, and guided tours by appointment.
