Event Information

Join the Riversdale House Museum for a FREE Emancipation Day tour as we interpret the history of the people who lived and worked at this former plantation from the house’s construction in 1801 through Emancipation in 1864. Visitors engage in facilitated dialogue with Tour Guides while being led through rooms of the historic house and dependency buildings.

This is a one-hour guided tour. We ask that visitors arrive at the Visitor Center 5-10 minutes ahead of time to get registered.

Pre-reservation or walk-ins are welcome. If you would like to confirm availability, call 301-864-0420 or email riversdale@pgparks.org before your arrival. Larger Group Tours are available by request.
