Tudor Place was the historic home of descendants of Martha Washington, and now it is a National Historic Landmark where "expansive landscapes, landmark architecture and thousands of historic objects tell stories of Georgetown, slavery and freedom in the District, the Civil War in Washington and many more." If you're available on Wednesday morning the 15th, join me and others to explore the museum and gardens and enjoy time with great FFF>50 friends! Plan: 1**0 am Boulangerie Christophe** on Wisconsin Ave then a 9-minute walk to Tudor Place **11 am timed entry tour of Tudor Place** Join for either or both! Let's meet first if you're available at 10 am at the wonderful Boulangerie Christophe, 1422 Wisconsin Ave. NW. We can enjoy coffee, pastries and more (and hopefully celebrate our taxes being done), and then it's an easy walk (9 minutes) to Tudor Place. Timed tickets for Tudor Place are $10 or $5 senior rate. Get your timed ticket for 11 am [here](https://12200.blackbaudhosting.com/12200/Self-Guided-Exhibit-Entry-08Apr2026-2) (you have to select Other Dates, Other Times). Tudor Place is located at 1644 31st Street in Georgetown. There is no parking lot (just street parking nearby), but you can walk from the Dupont Circle or Foggy Bottom metro stations (that's what I'll do). Please include your cell number when prompted so we can be sure to meet up. Hope to see you!

Let's visit the National Museum of African Art for their Pride & Belonging in African Art Exhibition! **Address:** National Museum of African Art 950 Independence SW Washington, D.C. 20560 ### Free Admission & No Passes Are Needed to Enter! **What is the Pride & Belonging in African Art Exhibition?** ***From the exhibition's webpage on the Museum's website:*** *"Here: Pride and Belonging in African Art* explores how LGBTQ+ artists from Africa and its diaspora are part of a larger, joyful story of African art history. Artists’ voices are central to this exhibition, which features works by Zanele Muholi, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Leilah Babirye, Jim Chuchu, Ṣọlá Olúlòde, among many LGBTQ+ artists from across Africa and its diaspora. *Here* is based on years of close collaboration and dialogue with these artists and their communities. Through their art, they invite us into their worlds and explore themes of identity and belonging. *Here* is the largest exhibition on this subject to date, with nearly 60 artworks. While their experiences are unique to them, they speak to issues that unite everyone: the importance of family, spirit, standing up for oneself and others, imagining the future, making intimate connections, finding belonging, embracing potential and, above all, experiencing joy. They are united by a simple, shared declaration: We are here. **Exhibition Website:** https://www.si.edu/exhibitions/here-pride-and-belonging-african-art%3Aevent-exhib-6763 More Information on the Exhibition: https://africa.si.edu/exhibitions/here-pride-and-belonging-african-art?utm_source=si.edu&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=MyVisitSI **Museum Hours:** 10:00 A.M.-5:30 P.M. daily
