Washington Regional

French Heritage Society’s Washington Regional Chapter advances the organization’s mission to ensure that the treasures of French architectural and cultural heritage survive to delight, educate and inspire future generations in the U.S. capital and the surrounding area.

The chapter organizes programs that draw on the patronage of the French government, such as dinners at the residence of the French Ambassador, as well as events and programs at local museums and sites such as Hillwood Estate and Mount Vernon. These activities support grants for projects in and around Washington, D.C., that are emblematic of French-American friendship, such as the restoration of Lafayette’s bedchamber at Mount Vernon.
