Step into the Memorial House Museum
By the early 1800s, the house in which George Washington was born no longer stood, and its exact location was forgotten. In 1923, the Wakefield National Memorial Association envisioned an uplifting commemorative tribute to Washington that would, in their view, symbolize his early life and experiences. In 1931, the Memorial House Museum was built— and a new chapter in how we remember the origins of our first President began.
The Memorial House Museum is open Wednesday - Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Step into the story and meet a ranger, view exhibits, or take an audio tour using the NPS app.
