Frederick Douglass and his wife bought this house in 1877. Tours are available during the day and are very worthwhile. The visitor center as well as the movie they show are dated but also worthwhile. Frederick was born a slave sometime around 1818 and would go on to become a highly respected abolitionist, newspaper owner/editor, civil rights advocate and staunch advocate for women’s rights. He would die in this home in 1895.

Salamander Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely! We enjoyed our stay."

Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"We went for the ice show and it didn’t disappoint. We usually go to Gaylord National in the summer but this year wanted to experience ICE Polar Express. The front desk staff was very accommodating as we initially had a room on the back end of the hotel because Atrium rooms weren’t available at the time of booking. We were able to transfer to an Atrium room on the morning of our second day. The view didn’t disappoint as usual. Next time my husband said we will see if we can book the Presidential Suite. Pricey yes, but well worth it! "
