Gilbert Stuart Birthplace

Gilbert Stuart Birthplace, Marie Boscia (photographer)

The former home and birthplace of famed portraitist Gilbert Stuart, who immortalized Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Adams, and John Quincy Adams; heroes of the Revolution and War of 1812; and prominent statesmen and society men and women of the day. His most famous work is his "unfinished" portrait of George Washington, which now appears on the one-dollar bill. This iconic portrait is dubbed "The Athenaeum," and it is displayed in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The museum is authentically restored and furnished to resemble a true 1750s home, which includes a working gristmill, gardens, woodland trails, art exhibitions, and more.
