Twilight & Tipple Tours Return To Pope-Leighey House
Get a magnificent view of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home during sunset on six tour dates.
The Pope-Leighey House has opened for tours through December and announced the return of a popular special event. The Twilight & Tipple Tuesday tours will take place once a month from May to October.
Guests enjoy libations from local partners and take tours of the Pope-Leighey house during sunset. A tour at this time of day is quite an experience because of how the indoor light shines through the custom windows. Tours are guided, and photography is permitted.
The tours are set for May 22, June 26, July 24, Aug. 21, Sept. 25 and Oct. 23. Tickets are $25 plus fees and include a drink. Plus, mark your calendars for Frank Lloyd Wright's 150th Birthday Picnic on June 8 from 6 p.m.-9 p.m.

The home, which now belongs to the National Trust for Historic Preservation is on the same property as the historic Woodlawn Plantation. Built in 1941 for writer Loren Pope and his wife Charlotte, it's the only Frank Lloyd Wright home in the DC region open to the public.
