What to get Mom this Mother’s day? Time together this weekend!
Join the 65th annual Mother’s Day House & Garden Tour – Two days of in-person house tours, virtual tours and walking tours. You’ve still got time to get your advance tickets!
The Capitol Hill Restoration Society’s (CHRS) annual House & Garden Tour is one of the highlights of the Capitol Hill calendar. After two years of outdoor-only and virtual tours, it is coming back in a big way!
This event will be a hybrid event featuring in-person locations as well as both virtual and walking tours. Your ticket purchase can be used over the two days of the event.
Note that the new owners of the Churchill Condo that appeared on WETA “If You Lived Here” are opening their home for the tour!
