Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, History Museums, International, Promotion of International Understanding
Mission: The mission of the heurich house foundation is to preserve the legacy of historic brewer christian heurich and to enrich the cultural life of washington dc.
Programs: The heurich house museum's "public engagement program" is a combination of public education and community, which includes public events,tours, school lessons, and exhibitions. Specifically, we offer events that highlight german cultural heritage (fruhlingsfest, oktoberfest, christkindlmarkt), craft brewing and beer history (history & hops, all 'ale the ladies), the musical performances (friday morning music club, in series), and preservation (pride in preservation, heritage without borders speaker series). Our trained docents and volunteers guide visitors through the history, decorative arts, and architecture of the house during public, private, and open house tours. We host elementary through graduate school groups and present lesson plans curated to their specific requirements. We hold regular public exhibitions which vary annually. The community aspect utilizes the property's non-exhibitions spaces to promote and support the dupont circle community. We provide like-minded organizations with rental space and partner program opportunities. We provide beautiful and affordable event space rentals to community organizations and businesses with educational instruction about the building and grounds. We also provide organizational support to non-profits in closely related industries and fields.
our "preservation program" includes the care, management, research, and curation of our building, archival, and objects collections.
