In support of the Forward Into Light campaign from the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission (WSCC), this program will provide a virtual space for reflection, conversation, and creative expression. Utilizing the suffrage colors of purple, gold, and white, create a piece of artwork using whatever materials you’d like!

While you create your suffrage inspired art, they will share stories from the suffrage movement and provide conversation topics related to women’s suffrage. After the program, finish up your piece and share on August 26th, the day suffrage was officially enacted, as part of the Forward Into Light campaign.

Tudor Place Reopens Aug. 6

On five-and-a-half acres, Tudor Place is one of America’s last intact urban estates from the Federal Period.

The open lawns and garden rooms are a delight, and a useful historical record of landscape design over time. 

Thomas and Martha Custis Peter put their land to agricultural and ornamental uses. Many of the trees and shrubs they cultivated still grow on the site today.

Hours are Thursday through Sunday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
