Review:
The Federal-style Dumbarton House built in 1800 tells visitors the story of what life was like in the early years of the nation’s capital. The Dumbarton collection includes over 1,000 paintings, ceramics, silver, textiles, and furnishings from the Federal Period, plus a collection of original documents describing nearly 300 years of history in the house and the area. The stately house sits on 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and terraces. Visitors will also want to tour East Park on the east side of Dumbarton House and the Herb Garden featuring over 40 plants that help tell the story of early America.
