House Tours 2026

Explore the lives of turn-of-the-century Washingtonians on a tour of the historic home of brewer and immigrant Christian Heurich. Step back in time to the year 1894, and see things from the eyes of household staff, Heurich brewery workers, the craftspeople who built his home, the brewer himself, and his wife Amelia. RULES • Pre-registration only, no walk-ins • No children under 10 years of age Afterwards, grab a Senate Beer - the historically accurate revival of the brand that ruled DC for 100 years - at the museum’s backyard Biergarten. AVAILABILITY Tours of the Heurich mansion are only available through a ticketed guided experience, which is limited to 8 people per tour. All tickets must be pre-purchased; no walk-ins available. ACCESSIBILITY If you require special accessibility accommodations, we are happy to help. Please email us at [email protected]. We believe that museums should be accessible to everyone. If you'd like to request a free ticket, please email [email protected]. ADMITTANCE Tours leave at the exact listed start time. If you arrive after the tour’s start time, you will not be admitted. Once the Tour Guide brings a group into the historic house, they are unable to leave the group unattended inside for safety and security reasons.

BIERGARTEN AVAILABILITY Tours will happen rain or shine, but please note that the Biergarten is open dependent on weather. TICKET PRICING As of April 9, 2026, tour ticket prices have increased from $13 to $15.

If you’d like to further support our mission, we invite you to “round up” your ticket to $20 by selecting the Supporter Ticket, where your additional contribution goes directly toward preservation and research efforts.
