Beginning in the 1970s, Dupont Circle earned it the name of a “gayborhood” in DC. Today, it is home to the Capitol Pride block party and parade. Celebrate all month long at 1921, a Biergarten with Pride beers, rainbow crafts, history from Rainbow History Project, music, games, and use as a landing place for pre- and post- parade festivities. 

KAMA DC and the Heurich House Museum present an “Immigrant-Owned Mini Markt” on Saturday, July 29th from 3-7 pm in the Museum's biergarten.

You know what pairs well? Craft Beer + Garden Crafts. This summer at 1921, a Biergarten, join us for a local craft beverage and free crafting every third Wednesday from 4-8pm.

 

This summer, join the Heurich House Museum and our community partners for a monthly story and craft time in the Castle Garden.

This year’s theme is “Immigrant Stories.” Together we’ll explore the history of people who have migrated to our country, while discussing what immigration looks like today in our own city. The hour will start with a read aloud of a book exploring our theme and will conclude with a craft activity!

On Saturday, June 3rd from 12-2pm, join the Heurich House Museum and founder of local small business Zenit Journals, Alina Liao, for a wellness journaling workshop in the museum’s Castle Garden. Learn how journaling can be a tool to improve your mental health, explore the concept of memory and how you want to be remembered, and explore Amelia’s journals up close in our new exhibit, Working Title. 

The Heurich House Museum will present its first new exhibit since 2018, which its education team developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Working Title reframes the Heurich family home as a central juncture for the people who lived and worked there (1894-1956) - men and women, immigrant and natural-born, Black and white, rich and lower-income, examines how they interacted with each other every day, and questions why their histories have not always been given equal weight. 

For a decade, the Heurich House Museum’s Christmas Markt has championed the DC artisan maker community; in 2023, the museum will expand its weekend-long celebration into a month-long showcase. Maker Month will take place from Wednesday, November 1st to Sunday, December 3rd, 2023. 

On Thursday, April 27th from 5:00 - 7:30 pm, connect with students and professors from George Washington University Corcoran School of the Arts & Design together with the Heurich House Museum’s education and preservation teams with a hands-on pop-up program meant to challenge how we interpret and interact with design.

In support of DC Statehood and a more emancipated District, shop from 5 Black owned local small artisan maker businesses while enjoying brews from 8 Black owned local beer brands in the Black Beer Garden. In DC, Emancipation still does not equal representation in the federal government after over 160 years.
