National Trust for Historic Preservation: Return to home page

For three days only, the second annual Fashioning Power, Fashioning Peace exhibition at the President Woodrow Wilson House will showcase authentic clothing from 50 different countries, each symbolizing power, diplomacy, and tangible cultural heritage.

Walk through the museum with a guide to experience and contemplate worldly fashion set in the 28th president's home or attend the open house during the EU Embassy Open House Weekend on May 10.

Each guest will be provided with a booklet, which includes details about the exhibition items and background information about the vision for this annual event.

Join us for a celebration 60 years in the making! We’re throwing a party to commemorate the historic move of the Pope-Leighey House from Falls Church, Virginia, to its current home at Woodlawn—a move that saved this Frank Lloyd Wright-designed gem, thanks to the dedication of Marjorie Leighey and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Slip into your best 60s-inspired attire and get ready for a night of great food, retro cocktails, and live entertainment that will transport you back to the era of peace, love, and preservation! Visitors will also have the opportunity to view the new exhibit Saving Pope-Leighey House, which opens at Woodlawn on May 1.
