Preserve America's important 18th-century history
Supporting history is simple and stress-free with monthly giving. Thanks to the generosity of our members and community, Washington Heritage Museums can preserve, promote, and maintain four 18th-century homes and the Mary Washington Monument site in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop, Mary Washington House, and Rising Sun Tavern—along with the Monument site—remain open year-round, inviting visitors to walk in the very footsteps of those who helped shape our nation’s story.
Monthly donations to WHM help preserve our museums and historic sites, enabling year-round storytelling through tours, programs, and events.
