We hosted our wedding at the Decatur House over Memorial Day weekend, and it was a perfect choice! Arioth was very easy to work with throughout the planning process, and the beautiful venue really speaks for itself! The resident ducks were a wonderful extra surprise too! 5 stars!

Outstanding tour experience with Shannon! She was exceptionally knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and engaging! Our hour long tour went by so quickly as the Decatur House is full of fascinating historical information. Many of the rooms are wonderfully restored and we hope future grants will allow for additional restoration of public spaces. The tour was free, though we would have gladly paid an admission price. A real gem in the heart of DC!

This house is tied to slavery why? Cause the John Gatsby held weekly slavery auctions and later, Charlotte Dupry challenged master Henry Clay in court for her freedom.
This house is full of history as it is the oldest house in DC. It belonged to various significant owners and organisations but currently it houses an African-American museum.
The history of the house is worth visiting alone.
