About the Frederick Douglass Museum

The Museum, located just one block from the U.S. Supreme Court, is one of the oldest properties on Capitol Hill. In the late 19th century, the property was home to famed statesman and abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Today, the historic property has been renovated to its original splendor and houses exhibits honoring Douglass as well as the Caring Institute, a nonprofit foundation established in 1985. The Caring Institute was created, in the spirit of Frederick Douglass, to recognize individuals who dedicate their lives to helping the poor, the disabled, and the elderly and to improving our national and international communities. The museum has three floors with six galleries and a formal dining room, a courtyard, and a spacious catering kitchen. http://www.sesma.org/frederick.html
