A Hidden Gem Museum Where Every Corner is Art! 🎨✨

I’ve been wanting to visit this exquisite boutique museum for so long! 🌿 Built in 1905 by American diplomat Larz Anderson and his wife Isabel, this stunning mansion is a true masterpiece of the Gilded Age. 💎 🏠 The interior is breathtakingly luxurious—featuring advanced heating systems for its time, a grand ballroom, a classic library, and even an outdoor swimming pool! Every detail leaves you in awe. 🏊♂️📚💃 After living here for over 20 years, the Andersons donated the estate to The Society of the Cincinnati—a prestigious patriotic organization with great influence. The museum also features fascinating exhibits related to the American Revolutionary War. 🇺🇸🕊️ 🎟️ Admission is FREE, but reservations are recommended! I walked in without one, and due to limited volunteers that day, some areas—including the upper floors—were closed. Still, a kind staff member opened a few rooms for me to take a quick look and snap some photos. 📸 Every corner is so beautifully crafted—I highly suggest dressing up a bit to match the elegant vibe! 👗💫 📍 Larz Anderson House 🅿️ Parking nearby: I found a great spot at 1313 19th St NW—only $12 for 3 hours! 🚗💵 Have you visited this gorgeous mansion?
