Tudor Place

Tudor Place was built by Martha Washington's granddaughter, Martha Custis Peter, and her husband Thomas Peter, son of a successful Scottish tobacco merchant, landowner, and the first mayor of Georgetown. Completed in 1816, Tudor Place remained under the ownership and care of six succeeding generations of the Peter family until 1983.

The Peter family witnessed the birth and growth of the capital, playing active roles in government, business, and society. The family entertained the Marquis de Lafayette, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun and others who shaped America's history. Martha Custis.

The historic site opened to the public in 1988 under the stewardship of the Tudor Place Foundation following the death of its last owner, Armistead Peter III. Tudor Place brings to life the cultural and social history of over 180 years of the Peter family and is the only historic site in Washington that remains largely intact.
