More About Tudor Place
Tudor Place was built between 1805 and 1816 by the granddaughter of Martha Washington, Martha Custis Peter, and her husband Thomas Peter. The house was occupied by the Custis-Peter family until 1983 and retains a collection of objects owned by the Washingtons for display. Take advantage of the beautiful gardens by attending special events that include tea parties, picnics and outdoor yoga.
