Historic House Tours
Historic House Tours offer a guided journey through the Heurich House Museum, returning visitors to Washington in 1894. The tour explores the mansion through the perspectives of brewer and immigrant Christian Heurich, his wife Amelia, household employees, Heurich brewery workers, and the craftspeople who constructed the home. After the tour, visitors may visit the backyard biergarten for Senate Beer, a historically accurate revival of the beer brand that dominated Washington, though biergarten access depends on the weather.
