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, craftspeople who built the home, the brewer himself, and his wife Amelia. Afterwards, grab a Senate Beer - the historically accurate revival of the beer brand that ruled DC for 100 years - at the museum’s backyard biergarten.
