While exploring the Anacostia neighborhood, consider pairing a visit to the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site with the nearby Anacostia Community Museum.

Tour Douglass’s home, where he lived for nearly two decades, then head to the museum to dive deeper into stories of community activism, resilience, and everyday life in African American communities past and present.
