| The Frederick Douglass Museum and Hall of Fame for Caring Americans is located in the heart of Washington, D.C. just minutes away from the United States Capitol Building. The museum was the first home to the famed statesman and abolitionist Frederick Douglass who moved to Washington, D.C. in the mid-1870’s and occupied the home at 316 A Street, NE for over seven years.
Today, the historic property has been renovated to its 19th century splendor and is home to exhibits honoring the late Frederick Douglass, as well as very special Americans of his spirit who have received the National Caring Award. This award is given each year to the most caring adults and young adults in America. We invite you to browse this site for further information, or call (202) 547-7424 to schedule a tour. |
