Built in 1892 by Edward Clark, an architect whose work includes the US Capitol, O Museum in the Mansion boasts an incredible amount of history.

Themed rooms and secret doors: Over the years, donors have helped stock the 100-room mansion—complete with 70 secret doorways—with original paintings, incredible sculptures, historical memorabilia, and the largest private signed guitar collection on the east coast, including ones signed by Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, Les Paul, Bruce Springsteen, and more.
Unique events: Besides their unique exhibits, concerts, artist & author talks, and magic shows, O Museum offers tours and treasure hunts that encourage guests to explore the many themed rooms and secret doors on their own.
Notable residents: Edward's brother, James "Champ" Clark, Speaker of the House under Teddy Roosevelt; clandestine FBI personnel under then-agency-head J. Edgar Hoover; Mrs. Rosa Parks; and "America’s Black Forum," one of the nation's longest running syndicated television series.
Featured on: The Travel Channel's show Mega Mansions; "Hidden Gem" by Washingtonian Magazine, and named The Coolest Place To Stay in DC by Booking.com.
