Tudor Place Historic House and Garden
Tudor Place is unique among historic sites in Washington, D.C., in that most of its 5½ acres remain intact and free from recent construction or development. As a result, the ground below also lies undisturbed, a rich material record of lost features and occupations awaiting discovery. Archaeological surveys at Tudor Place have yielded clues to the early years of Georgetown and the capital city, including likely locations of a dwelling for enslaved workers and dependencies of an urban estate.
