Who says you can’t combine history and holidays? Tudor Place is a historic house and garden that captures nearly 200 years of continued ownership.
As each generational landlord assumed ownership of the home, they brought their personal style along with cultural influences of the day, of items they bought, sold, and used in their daily life. All those “things” now make up an 18,000 piece collection. They weren’t hoarders, but pack-rats of the 19th century for sure. Let’s say they saved a lot. Much of this you can see by taking a guided tour Tuesday – Sunday.
Every December, Tudor Place capitalizes on this unique storehouse of treasures by combining objects that are rarely displayed at Tudor Lights, a holiday event which creatively shows how history mixed with holiday can be sheer fun. This year, guests will travel back to the 1970s and witness the blending of historical elegance and pop culture as the house is adorned with dazzling disco balls. Discover how the District emerged as an epicenter for disco culture. View rarely displayed objects and ephemera that foretell the iconic fashion trends of the era. Stroll through the garden, then sip, savor and socialize with a classic Tom Collins or Harvey Wallbanger and some groovy hors d’oeuvres. Bell-bottoms optional; wear if you dare.
Tickets required. Tudor Lights: Disco Christmas on December 12 at 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Secure your spot now and buy tickets.

Since Edmund Burke School’s founding in 1968, active engagement and inquiry have been essential to the experience.
Simply, this is a place to be multifaceted. A place to try new things and meet new people. And a place where students are creative, kind, diverse, and perceptive, with a penchant for exploration.
At Burke, experienced musicians can play basketball and longtime softball players can delve into ceramics. Opportunities are vast and varied here — and everyone can access the full range of Burke’s offerings. Students aren’t competing for spots just to do what they enjoy.
A city school is an optimal starting point for exploration. From field work in Rock Creek Park during 6th grade Science to monthly museum and gallery ventures in 12th grade Art History, classes draw upon the District’s vast resources. The metro-adjacent campus on Connecticut Avenue enables substantial independence for students — including an “open campus” starting in 9th grade.
Advanced coursework also enables deep exploration. Computer science enthusiasts can delve into Robotics, AI, and Game Development electives, while math-inclined students can access AP Calculus BC, Multivariable, and Advanced Statistics. History electives span Constitutional Law, Modern Revolutions, and US Music Since 1945; the Senior Seminar program supports in-depth research into Economic Development and Democracy & Freedom, among other topics.
To start exploring, attend an Open House this Saturday, October 19.
Family tours during the school day are also available throughout October and November. Learn more at burkeschool.org/visit.
The leaves are starting to change and Love is Blind fever is sweeping the District. Whether you want a place with some nature and scenery or a downtown penthouse to be in the middle of the party, we have plenty of options.
