Join the community that supports five historic sites!

The support of members enables Washington Heritage Museums to preserve, promote and maintain our five historic properties in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop, Mary Washington House, Rising Sun Tavern, and the Mary Washington Monument grounds are open to visitors throughout the year, allowing them to experience history in the very footsteps of those who made it. St. James' House holds the WHM membership and business offices, and is open two weeks each year for tours.
