Frederick Douglass National Historic Site (Cedar Hill)

Cedar Hill at 1411 W St SE was purchased by Frederick Douglass in 1877 and served as his home until his death in 1895. The National Park Service operates the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site there, preserving the house, outbuildings, and grounds. The site interprets Douglass’s life, abolitionist work, and post‑Civil War activities and is open for guided tours and public programs.
