Wonderful tour of a beautiful home. Very historic. A snowy day made the visit even more memorable..I plan on a spring visit hopefully. read more

My wife and I took the private tour with the Executive Director, Elizabeth Karcher. We can't begin to describe the information and feeling of Wilson's life, presidential tenure and final years. Fantastic tour, recommended to anyone who has an interest in presidential history and Wilson specifically. Thanks Elizabeth! read more

This is kind of off the beaten path but there are signs indicating where to turn. This has been turned into a museum and a historical landmark. My favorite room was his library. Featuring several books and a beautiful painting of Wilson above the fireplace. He also had a projector and would use this as an entertainment room and would commonly show movies to guests. There are staff and volunteers in every room to answer any questions for you about Wilson and his house. I highly recommend stopping here if you are in DC. It is a piece of history and you will go away learning something you didn't know about one of our most important Presidents. read more

I took a tour of President Woodrow Wilson's House during President's Day weekend. It's a beautiful home that was very modern for its time. The tour is very informative and you feel like you know everything there is to know by the end of it. It did feel a bit rushed, without much time for questions. But I appreciated all the information and the honesty about President Woodrow Wilson as a man, who made black staff work separate from white staff and opposed women voting rights. I'm glad historic homes like this are still standing as museums. read more

A little off the beaten path (away from the National Mall and all of the museums and monuments), the Woodrow Wilson House is worth a visit for anyone interested in history! After the end of Wilson's time as president in 1921, he and his second wife Edith moved into this house in Kalorama. President Wilson lived in the home until his death in 1924, while Edith remained in the home until 1961. Because Edith left the house to the National Trust for Historic Preservation upon her death, there were no owners of the house after the Wilsons, and almost everything in the house was actually their property. There are several different types of guided tours available (we did the general house tour, since it was our first visit and we didn't have much time). The tour was great, very interesting. Wilson is a complicated historical figure, and they don't shy away anything on the tour. The general house tour was a perfect length for us - some Wilson history, some Edith history, some historical preservation history...very interesting and short and sweet! The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable. Definitely worth doing if you're interested in Wilson, presidential history, 20th century history...! read more

Excellent location for a nice quiet evening. The grounds are well maintained. Lots of fun. Nice items in the gift shop.

Excellent tour! While planning our itinerary in the capital city I saw this deal in Groupon. As if there wasn't already enough places to see and tour in DC I added this to our list to visit. We took Lyft to this part of town because it was kind of far and off the beaten path from all the sites in DC in a residential area. Well, it was the 28th U.S. president's home after he left office. Our tour guide was Jeremiah who did an excellent job relaying history in each room. There was another gentleman with us during our private tour so that makes our party just 3. The Georgian Revival house is beautiful and a designated National Historic Landmark. The President, who served 2-terms in office from 1913 to 1921, died in this home in his upstairs bedroom. We had a chance to see the President's Bedroom. I didn't know much about this President but I left with a lot of knowledge about his life, marriages, and his presidency. Jeremiah first took us to the Drawing Room (where, upon his death in 1924, his body laid in state for a day or two), then on to the Library, Solarium, the Dining Room, the upstairs Bedrooms of each the President and his second wife, Edith, the Butler Room, the Kitchen and also a secret elevator which took the President up/down the house. The lasting effects of the stroke had the President remain partially paralyzed on one side. The President's home is also available to rent as a venue for weddings and parties. The backyard garden may be used as well as the dining room. The back balcony that led to the bedrooms was used once for the bride to throw her bouquet but it has since been just used for photo ops. Jeremiah also shared the news that the house being renovated next door to President's Wilson's home is going to be the future home of another President... well, not really, but founder and CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos. The neighborhood is a hot spot for Washington big wigs but not open to the public, one needs to show proof of actual residency here. The Obamas own a $5.3 million home nearby, and Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner recently moved in right down the street as well. Review #1194 read more

On a quiet little street, you will find a nice little presidential home where Woodrow Wilson lived in the final few years of his life after he left office and where his wife lived for a few more decades then donated the house to be a museum, so it's all original items to the president. There is a short video introduction, then a very thorough tour through the rooms. There were gifts from foreign dignitaries, a giant mirror from Lincoln's White House, his personal clothing and walking sticks, and authentic items even in the kitchen. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and there's a nice little gift shop. The tours are on the hour, so plan that so you don't spend a lot of time waiting around. It wasn't very crowded when I went (I doubt this is every like Mt Vernon or Monticello) but a great view of the 20th century with a lot of authentic items is pretty cool. read more

My interest in Woodrow Wilson was piqued after viewing the World War I exhibit at the Library of Congress (also worthwhile). The video introduction was useful and our tour guide was excellent. There was a small interesting WWI war ship exhibit in the room where you wait for your tour. The home is very nice and adds to your understanding of Wilson's life including his second wife. read more

I visited the house for free the 1st weekend of June during the Dupont-Kalorama Museums Consortium among the 5 museums. Off the beaten path, Woodrow Wilson's house is next-door to all the noisy renovations of Jeff Bezo's multi-million dollar home (former Textile Museum). Nice to still have a piece of history preserved! The Georgian style house is beautiful and cozy with 3 floors and a nice backyard. Aside from the rugs, all the furniture, paintings, decor, and artifacts are original to the house as Woodrow Wilson spent his last few years here after he left the White House. Sadly due to the heavy foot traffic on the Consortium weekend, there isn't a tour offered. Would have been helpful to have labels on the artifacts and history boards detailing each room. There were only a couple of docents in the house disseminating information upon request. A guided tour would be quite useful. My favorite parts of the house and fun facts: - Wilson paid lavishly $150K for the house, which was double its worth back in 1921 due to his interest and notoriety. He funded the house by using all his Noble Peace Prize of $50K and with the help of his buddies chipping in. After Wilson passed away in 1924, his wife Edith, lived in the house for 4 decades and donated the house upon her death to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, turning it into a museum as it stands today. - The Drawing Room on the 2nd floor is the most beautiful room with ornate decor - portrait of Woodrow Wilson, impressive floor to ceiling bookcase, plush sofa and chairs, crown moldings, and a marble fireplace. - Don't miss on Wilson's Luggage Trunks tucked on the 3rd floor. Wilson used the dumb waiter as an elevator to transport his luggage trunks to the top floor as his health was deteriorating. Take a peek at the ornate designs on the fancy trunks! - Get a glimpse of Wilson's spacious and ornate Bedroom and his wife's beautiful coat collection on the top floor! It was customary back then for spouses to have separate bedrooms as Edith Wilson slept in an adjacent bedroom (not open for public viewing). The Woodrow Wilson house takes about a 1/2 hour for a quick walk-through and is much smaller than the Anderson home, Hillwood Estate, and Heurich house. The guided tour takes an hour or so and will be back for it! read more

Did you know that Woodrow Wilson is the only president to reside in the District after his presidency? And he's the only president to be buried in DC (@ National Cathedral)? Excellent tour and museum, even for the non history nerds! Starts with a 15 minute video on President Wilson and continues with a 45 minute tour. Our tour guide, Mary Kay, was very knowledgable and energetic/enthusiastic. You get to see the President's office, library, and bedroom, his wife's bedroom, the chef's pantry and kitchen and the solarium (library:http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WDI-w64vk2HneLenwTrHeA?select=lCk0od4zhAPFlyznWl39dw). Most post-1920s items have been removed from the house and there are a ton of well preserved and fascinating objects and furniture throughout the house (original desk from Princeton, tapestries, baseballs autographed by British royalty, Abraham Lincoln's mirror, etc). Very cool, and generally a smaller tour group. Student discount drops regular admission from $10 to $5. read more

I bought a Groupon for this place and then completely forgot all about it until I got an email reminder to use my Groupon. I had been wanting to visit here for a while now and never got around to it. When I saw the deal advertised on Groupon, it was too good to pass up and it would finally force me to go. The house is located in the mist of the embassies and it is the one with the American flag hanging out front. Everything in the house is original with the exception of the books. There are a few books on display that were written by President Wilson, but I was told by the tour guide that other than those set of books, all of his books are now at the Library of Congress. The house was decorated as how it was when President Wilson lived there during the last 3 years of his life. Mrs. Wilson did some upgrade after the President passed, but those upgrades were replaced after her death. It was decorated with many beautiful gifts that the President and his wife received during his time in the White House. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. She moved the tour along at the pace of the visitors and we had many questions. She happily answered them all! Coincidentally, my son was working on his school project on famous Virginians and he person that he happened to pick for his project his President Wilson. He learned a lot from this trip that he will be able to use for his school project. As a matter of fact, I learned from him that President Wilson first name is Thomas. As I was verifying that through Wikipedia, I also learned that President Coolidge first name is John. I guess alliterating names sound better when running a campaign. read more

Located in Dupont Circle, this house is a nice historic visit. Wilson was the only president who stayed in D.C. after his presidency, and when he did, he moved here from the White House. Inside you'll find books portraits, furniture, autographed photographs of people associated with Wilson's presidency. There are some really great pieces here. Back when Wilson was president, he was allowed to keep gifts from other dignitaries. Check out the huge French tapestry on the second floor. read more

An underappreciated gem. We got a groupon for the tour and had a very nice time on a lovely January afternoon. The bottom line: it's a beautiful house, especially the solarium, a little nook overlooking the exquisite backyard. With huge windows letting in the sun, it must have been a spectacular place to savor your morning coffee. The tour takes you all over three stories of rooms and lasts about an hour. Be prepared to climb lots of stairs! The guide was very knowledgeable, which made the tour enjoyable. Some interesting little nuggets were dropped throughout, such as Wilson hanging a tiny portrait of his wife in the corner of his bedroom but a giant portrait of another woman in front of his bed. You also get to see several presidential gifts from other countries, which presidents were allowed to keep in those days. I could go on and on describing all the stuff you'll see, but wouldn't that ruin the fun? It's located just a few minutes from the heart of Dupont and is a gorgeous sight to behold - just come! You will not regret it. read more

I went to the Woodrow Wilson House on 1/19/19 with a friend. I had heard of the museum for years. However, it was their furlough special that made me suggest it as an outing. The tour is not required but I can't imagine without it the visit being as enjoyable. The individual artifacts are not labeled. I am not sure. I would have understood what I was looking at without the docent. Our docent was full of knowledge. He really helped me place the home in the history. If I had one tip, the museum is a historical house; and, as a result the rooms are not large. If you're planning on bringing a large group you will have to take turns in each room. In other words, this might not be a great stop for a large tour with little time. In a nutshell, a private museum off the beaten path worth a visit. read more

The Woodrow Wilson House is a historic home located in Kalorama. Like others here have mentioned, you can easily find discounts on Groupon. We got 2 tickets for $9.50, which is over 50% off per ticket. While it was unclear to us when we planned our visit, you can only visit by doing a guided tour. Tours occur on the hour and are about an hour long. The house is interesting, and our tour guide clearly loved giving tours. We only had two other people on our tour, which was a great size for viewing the house. Apparently, they also do an old games night on Wednesdays. I do worry that this business model cannot be sustained. When we entered, the woman who greeted us assumed we had a Groupon. While I am sure the full-price entrance fee doesn't cover much maintenance, Groupon keeps a huge portion in fees. I hope they have some great donors to sustain the house. If you are looking for a something fun to do on an afternoon, this is a super reasonably priced activity. read more

Although a little far from the center of D.C., going to the Woodrow Wilson House is definitely worth your time. The house provides an in-depth historical account of President Wilson's life, and shows you where he lived with his second wife in the final three years of his life. Almost all the artifacts are original, except for the books and rugs, and you get to go in almost every room in the house. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the President. It is also worth going to an exhibit in the museum about sunken World War 1 ships in Maryland. Also near the house are beautiful embassies that you can walk or drive by on your way to the ho read more

I live within 6 blocks of this house, but never knew it existed. I came here this past weekend for an intimate fall wedding. It added something very special to the general atmosphere of matrimonial merriment to have the wedding set in a scene from out of time. The couple held the ceremony outside in the garden. It was very romantic -- hardly a dry eye. There is a set of stone steps and pillars that makes a very nice altar. They had cocktails and mingling before and after the ceremony on the rooftop terrace overlooking the garden and surrounding embassies. After the ceremony, we also got to watch a stunning sunset. While we waited for dinner to be served, we poked around the house a little bit and took in the magnificent antique furniture, old elevator, paintings, and decorating. During this time, we definitely got a reminder that we were in a museum. One very tall woman's leg accidently brushed the top of a chair. Like batman swooping from the top of a building, a tiny woman employed by WWH sailed by, ordering, "Don't touch that!" Still, in no time the staff had transformed the garden from the site of a ceremony to dinner tables and dancing space. I do not know if the catering was done by WWH or an outside company, but the food was great. On the way out, we got to see the nearby replica of the Spanish Steps. Again, I had no idea these existed until this weekend, but I am really glad I got to see them. They are also very romantic. So if you're planning an intimate wedding in DC, check this place out. read more

For DC being a place where you automatically think "presidents," there aren't many places where you can really interact with any of them. Don't get me wrong, I love a good memorial/monument/photo op on Pennsylvania Ave. But if you want to get a look into the actual life of one of them, go here. When you stroll down S street (super short walk from Dupont Circle metro stop!) and ring the doorbell of the Woodrow Wilson House, you really feel as if you've stepped back in time almost a century, to the 1920's. After a short intro video, your guide takes you through all 3 stories of the house, which are still set up to feel as if Wilson and his wife Edith live there. The house is filled with their belongings- Wilson's massive book collection (only president with a PhD!), gifts presented to him (ranging from framed sheep wool to a mosaic from the Pope), family photos and heirlooms, their clothes even still hang in their closets. You also still see the way the house was renovated to accommodate Wilson's disabilities that resulted from the severe stroke he suffered during his second term. My tour took about an hour. There is an admission fee, but it's reasonable at $10 for adults, $5 with a student ID, and free for kids under 12. There is also a small gift shop. If you're craving a break from the herd of cattle, stuff behind glass kind of museum experience, this is your place. read more

If your're looking for a DC museum experience that isn't mobbed with the same traffic as the Mall or downtown you'll really enjoy the Wilson House. Tucked away in the beautiful Kalorama neighborhood, you'll have the chance to explore the home of President Woodrow Wilson. The House is wedged between embassies and the new guest home of Jeff Bezos and is a beautiful representation of early 20th century architecture and home design. Privately owned until the 1960s, the house is staged as it was when President Wilson lived here after his time in the White House. They offer tours daily and offer discounts for students, seniors, and museum members. You can also go on Groupon and find tickets for half off. The tour starts with an introductory video and then proceeds to take you throughout the home. They've done a lot of work in recent years to be more inclusive and expand the stories they tell when discussing Wilson's troubled relationship with the African American community, women's suffrage movement, and his shortcomings post WW1. The collection of papers and artifacts is very strong and most of what you see in the home is original or of the time period. Our tour guide Matt was super knowledgeable and had some great recommendations for other exhibits in the area that expand on a lot of the information that was covered. The house itself is very beautiful and a great venue for weddings, receptions, and other private events. The museum hosts themed game nights and monthly events as well. I love that it is only a 15 minute walk from the Dupont metro and in a beautiful neighborhood to walk around. You can visit the public park across the street, nearby embassies, or the Spanish Steps. read more

Call me a dork, but I really like to tour old homes where the stuff inside is preserved the way it was in the old days... This house is like that. It's a beautiful home in the Kalorama neighborhood, so you get to take a sneak peak at an example of the architecture and luxury of the area. Plus, it was a President's home! So there are some neat keepsakes scattered around. Including a really kick-butt old Rolls Royce housed in the garage. The docents are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about both the house and the time period. An amusing and interesting thing to do if you're in the area. read more

A charming, inexpensive way to spend an hour in DC when you've got an hour to kill. This is the home he retired to after leaving the presidency; he's the only president to remain in DC after holding office. It's a nice blend of history and looking at life in the early 20s. Street parking was the easiest I've ever experienced in DC; don't hesitate to drive because it's not near Metro. We went on a Saturday around 11AM and were shocked you could actually park in front! You of course will learn plenty of history while you're there. It comes with the territory. But there are some neat, quirky things in there you wouldn't expect like the microphone Wilson used in the first national radio broadcast and a bizarre (read: scary) stimulation kit his nurse used on him during his therapy for his stroke. I'm a nurse and I didn't recognize it at all, thank goodness. The Woodrow Wilson House is having a Speak Easy event on February 12. If only I weren't pregnant.... http://www.woodrowwilsonhouse.org/ai1ec_event/speakeasy-bash All in all, a good place. Not suitable for young children or those unable to climb stairs. I'm giving it 4.5 stars only because I thought LBJ's Ranch (outside of Austin, TX) was better. read more

I love history and President Woodrow Wilson is one of my all time favorite presidents. I was so excited to come here and see this quaint museum. The tour was so much fun because history is FUN! Our tour guide was very informative and willing to answer questions we had. I liked that they scheduled groups of people in a tour session to avoid overcrowding in one area. read more

Despite the ghastly July heat in the DC area, this house was an oasis in the dessert(SP?) as far as I was concerned. Set in the neighborhood of the embassies, the blast of air conditioned air that greeted us as we entered the house was most welcome. Our tour took place right away. This is the last house that President Woodrow Wilson lived in after he served as President. His second wife preserved lots of material and furniture and clothes and pretty much left the house as it was at the end of Woodrow's life. The tour was interesting and our tour guide very knowledgable about Woodrow and his life ... We saw the film on Woodrow at the end of our tour as we arrived a bit late to see it at the beginning (when we were supposed to). But the people who work here are very very nice and very kind and helpful. This is a bit off the beaten path of most DC tourist areas but well worth going to. read more

I had a really great time on the tour here. Matthew was super knowledgable and had many great stories to tell about the artifacts in the house. Really enjoyed getting to learn about President Wilson and see something a little off the normal tourist trail! read more

So. I took the tour of the Woodrow Wilson house today. What is amazing about this house is that there are so many original items in their original places. I was the only person in my tour with my tour guide Jeremiah. The tour starts out with a 15 minute film on the history of Woodrow Wilson which I admit I knew little of, so that was good background. It also laid the foundation for many of the items in the house that you will see on the tour. The house is in pristine condition and you can walk up and look closely at many of the furnishings and knickknacks. The biggest problem I had with this living history lesson is that it completely ignores the fact that WW did nothing for race relations and in fact, when given the chance to do the littlest thing, refused to. I'm not sure enough of my history to say if he made anything worse in his time, but I wasn't given any evidence that he made anything better, either. I know many people don't go on a tour to hear negative things about people but unless you are part of the solution, I will accuse you of being part of the problem. The truth doesn't become any less true if it isn't acknowledged. read more

Must do if you are into presidential history. Look for a Groupon and save $! Interesting movie starts the tour and then docent tour that covers many historical details of President Wilson and his years after leaving the White House. You will be walking through the actual house that President Wilson lived in after leaving the White House. Many of the gifts he received from foreign countries still decorate the house. Docent Betty really knows her stuff! read more

This is a gem in DC! I spent my childhood in the city and never went here, so it was exciting to see something new. The tour itself is very informative and there are some fun facts thrown in about the architect of the house who designed Jeff Bezos' DC home as well. The two stars docked are for the tour guide - she was extremely shrill and curt and would request that we ask questions but then seem very incredulous at the content. Overall detour in the house are cool but it is definitely highly dependent upon the tour guide. read more

This is a beautiful home full of history and the personal belongings of the President and First Lady. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. I was on time for the 10 am tour, however, several others came in late and brought children who were completely uninterested in this tour or its history. NOTE TO PARENTS: DO NOT bring kids on tours such as this unless they truly interested in history. They are bored to tears and make it hard for those of us who want to be there to be able to see everything and hear the guide over their whining they want to leave. I left tour early because of that reason. Not the staffs fault. read more

Woodrow Wilson House - Beautiful place! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The only U.S. president's house (in D.C.) fully preserved in its original state is a favorite place to take friends and family when they come visit. It is in the Kalorama (embassy row) part of town - which is nice for guests to see - and the house provides an interesting tour of the WWI period house. For the guys who might be rolling their eyes, you will be happy to know that there are war-related gadgets and memorabilia to give the tour an edge to it. It's not just mamby-pamby. Lovely house, lovely garden, lovely neighborhood: would be very cool for a wedding. read more

The only Presidential Museum in Washington DC, the Woodrow Wilson house was designated as a National Historic Landmark in the 1960s. I really enjoyed visiting this hidden gem of a museum in the beautiful Dupont Circle area. The place is not crowded, and for $12 you get a 45 minute tour of the museum. There are a few very cool things about this place: 1. You can touch the things in the home. There are no ropes and in fact the museum guides encourage you to play the piano (a piano the Wilsons had in the White House), turn the lights on/off, etc. 2. Presidents from that era were allowed to keep all the gifts from countries abroad. There is a painting given to Wilson by Armenia after his signing of the Versailles Treaty that is very beautiful.. Also some nice European art/statues to view as well. 3. The guides, as others have mentioned, do a wonderful job and really enjoy what they do. They are friendly and will even give you recommendations on what to do next/where to go. I've visited many historic houses as I volunteered in an architectural preservation non-profit for many years. This is one of the coolest houses I've been in, and definitely worth the $ I spent, even with other museums in DC being free. Also, they rent the space for weddings and parties. read more

We got married here this past May and it was amazing. Most of our guests were from out of town so we wanted a venue that brought a little bit of DC to them- what better place than the house of one of our country's presidents! The house was open during the reception with house staff there to give tours. The house itself is really cool- and the staff is really knowledgeable. The garden out back is breathtaking- our guests from DC said they felt like they weren't in the city anymore. It was like our own secret garden wedding. The venue coordinator, Sarah was such a pleasure to work with. They are very easy to work with, responsive, and seem to really enjoy the history of the house. We went on so many tours with parents and friends in preparation for the wedding and learned something new every time! Definitely recommend for tourists! read more

This is a beautifully kept museum with a very knowledgeable staff. Because the Wilsons belonged to an era that emphasized soft lighting and rich ornamentation, the rooms are lovely, and the house doubles as a very elegant and intimate venue for parties, one in which each piece of decor carries huge historical import. One of my favorite items from my last visit: Wilson's key to the City of London, which apparently gave him the right to graze his sheep in Hyde Park. read more

Great museum in DC with all authentic furniture and furnishings. I think this was the 4th event I have been to there. The annual party there is a lot of fun! Great band, snobby hordurves and great cocktails. This year, the booze is a local vodka from Maryland. Highly recommended event every year as everyone dresses up in period costumes! read more

If you are like me and love visiting historic homes, you will LOVE the Woodrow Wilson House. For a $5-10 admission, you are given a glimpse into Woodrow Wilson's life after he left the White House in 1921 until his death in 1924. The guide, Richard, was knowledgeable and very engaging. The group was very small, only three people, but we were never rushed and given plenty of time to look around and ask questions. I had joined the tour a few minutes late, so I had missed several rooms. Richard was very gracious and took me through the rooms that I had missed. I was most impressed with the lack of barriers and partitions throughout the house. Almost every historic tour that I have been on were only peeks through plexiglass or leaning over a velvet rope... with the Woodrow Wilson House, this is not the case. With very few exceptions, you are able to walk around freely and take in the history. If you are in the area, stop by the Woodrow Wilson House and learn a little bit about a sometimes under-appreciated US president. read more

There is also a small gift shop, in which the coolest item (by far!) is a TALKING Woodrow Wilson action figure!!! read more

Interesting place. Our tour guide was a retired college professor (I think) and was great. The house has a lot of the original stuff that was in it when WW lived there. You can look in President Wilson's bedroom and see his old clothing, which still hangs in the closet. Bathroom fixtures are original as well. Worth the trip to S Street to check it out. read more
