The Mansion on O Street

A completely different experience than any other museum in D.C. The beginning of the self guided experience is worth listening to every word. Its walls (that open) must have amazing stories to tell. Try and find as many hidden entrances that move you from room to hallway to room. It’s surreal as there are actual guests staying in the mansion. The amount of incredible memorabilia in this Mansion is overwhelming and every piece is for sale. As it’s an Inn as well as a museum there is a bar to stop in when you find your way back. Depending on your time limits, this could be an hour visit or three. A little off the beaten path, still hanging on to a “hidden gem” - loved it

We visited the museaum with our 2 children - age 10 and 12 What a fun experience !! My kids did not want to leave. There was something for everyone is every room and the secret doors made it so exciting ! We would highly recommend this to anyone, all ages!

Went with our 12 and 14yo kids. They loved finding the secret doors; us parents loved the nostalgia. We were there over 90 minutes - tired by then, and all the stuff everywhere can be overwhelming to the senses over time. Yes, it seems pricey given so many things in DC are free, but it was a fun unique experience and glad we did it. We felt it was worth it. We parked a couple blocks away via SpotHero since too far for our bikes from our VBRO which was not near a metro stop.

My family (2 parents are four 18-21 year old kids) loved the Secret Door Tour in the Mansion On O Street. We found 12 doors (including two tiny doors)! It was a fun evening. The museum pieces were interesting. Our group was most impressed with the incredible bathrooms that some of the bedrooms have. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. We highly recommend looking for the secret doors in O Museum.

We weren’t quite sure what to expect from our stay here. But we were blown away by the entire experience! We enjoyed learning each facet of the museum and our accommodations were most comfortable. The area is perfect for exploring Washington DC. H and Ted are absolutely gracious hosts and we appreciated the time they gave to us without expectation. We had a blast exploring after dark once the museum was closed to the public. We will look forward to returning again!

This was the most interesting and fun place to wander through!!! We had so much fun trying to find the hidden doors. This place is unique and fun with every room having a collection from floor to ceiling. There is so much to see make sure that you take your time and spend hours enjoying it.
