Preserve America's important 18th-century history
The support of our community and members allows Washington Heritage Museums to preserve, promote and maintain our four 18th century houses and the Mary Washington Monument site in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop, Mary Washington House, and Rising Sun Tavern as well as the Monument grounds are open throughout the year to welcome visitors for tours to experience history in the very footsteps of those who made it.
Your donation supports the preservation of our museums and historic sites, and allows WHM to convey their history year-round.
