On this exclusive tour, DC History Center members will explore the lives of turn-of-the-century Washingtonians on a tour of the historic home of brewer and immigrant Christian Heurich. Step back in time to the year 1894, and see things from the eyes of household staff, Heurich brewery workers, the craftspeople who built his home, the brewer himself, and his wife Amelia.
After the tour, explore the museum’s exhibit. Working Title reframes the Heurich family home as a central juncture for the people who lived and worked there (1894-1956). These men and women, immigrant and natural-born, Black and white, wealthy and lower-income, interacted with each other every day. The exhibit reveals these relationships and asks: why have their histories not been given equal weight?
