I wonder whether you recognize this suit of clothes? It’s what I was wearing when the Wall Street Journal photographer maansi srivastava followed us around taking pictures—fun!

This is a wonderful story filled with dates, relationships and addresses—rather like One Hundred Years of Solitude. Don’t make yourself crazy trying to follow every detail. It’s enough to grasp the big picture and accept that it’s complicated.

There is, however, one important detail: Daniel’s listing is $13,995,000, not $13,950,000—as I incorrectly say in the video.

But if you would like to buy it for $13,950,000, give me a call. I’ll be very happy to help you make a run at it.

Wow-wee!! Such an exciting morning. First, the Wall Street Journal dropped a very very nice profile of Violet and me, (I have not been this excited since The Lakeville Journal wrote a little story about my yacht deliveries when I was in college) and we have this reel which I think is so cool, showing how Georgetown houses have great history BUT they are also culturally relevant today!! Wait till you get to the end.

I sweated out the first couple of months of summer in Georgetown, but now it’s time to cool off in Maine, where we go every year.

I did NOT want to leave you out, so here is a little of what’s doing in Penobscot Bay. I could make endless videos up here—it is full of history, boats, islands, and remarkable characters, including my great-grandfather, “Blind Paul Pinkham,” who astonished everyone by lobster fishing and even building his own house—blind as a bat!

I’ll be back in Georgetown shortly, ready to sell your house—or sell you a house—whichever you prefer.

History is full of painful and upsetting stories, and I really appreciate all of you who take the time to share your opinions, research, and resources with me.

I started making these videos about Georgetown because I love this neighborhood and am always interested in learning more about its history, even when that history isn’t easy.

Thank you for following along and continuing to have these conversations with me. Hopefully this one is a little easier watch… and maybe my hat looks a little more normal this time 😉

Whenever we take a closer look at a Georgetown story that’s been retold a million times, there’s usually more to it than the version that’s repeated.

The Georgetown Metro stop is a perfect example. Yes, some Georgetown residents pushed back against bringing Metro into the neighborhood. But that’s only part of the story. Building a station here would have been an enormous engineering challenge and one of the most expensive parts of the system.

Oh yes, my hat IS a bit much. I am trying to break in a new one….what can I say, maybe it will grow on us. 🙂

Colonel and Mrs. Henry Leonard and Their Georgetown Houses

Before Averell and Pamela Harriman made one of Georgetown’s most famous houses their home, it belonged to another Washington power couple: Colonel Henry Leonard and Ellen Warder Leonard. He was a war hero, lawyer, and loyal friend. She founded the Sulgrave Club and helped found the Potomac School. They helped make the Georgetown we enjoy today, and thank you to the people who continue to recognize and invest in these fine properties.

People are always asking me about the Exorcist Stairs! I doubt you’ll catch me doing a reel on ghosts, but here is my video on those infamous stairs! Happy Fourth of July! ❤️

I continue to attract fascinating people who are exploring Georgetown’s history.

Last year, Kate Whitmore introduced me to her project, and I was immediately intrigued. Like many people, I had always assumed Washington, D.C., was chosen as the nation’s capital simply because it was undesirable swamp land. What a pleasure to discover that this isn’t true and that our own neighborhood of Georgetown played a meaningful role in the selection of the capital itself.

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, I’ve found myself thinking more and more about George Washington, Georgetown, and the remarkable ways their stories are connected.

If this history interests you, I encourage you to explore the article, the website, and the book about Yarrow, whom we’ll be visiting again soon. 🙂

Get ready! We are celebrating the United States’ 250th anniversary. Last weekend Violet and I went to George Washington’s Mount Vernon. George Washington is in our lane and with such an auspicious date coming up, it just made sense. Oh boy! If you have never been then you must go, if you went awhile ago then you must see how it has changed, and if you have been lately, then you know there is so much more to see and do.

📍 Mount Vernon, Virginia

The highlights: a new George Washington: A Revolutionary Life exhibit inside the Museum & Education Center. What can I say? It will appeal to everyone from the intellectual historian to the fired up kid, just plain fun and informative.

Mount Vernon is a destination that should be on your list during the America 250 celebration, it certainly was on ours.

📝 Plan Your Visit:

• Located just outside Washington, DC
• Free on-site parking

• Open 365 days a year
• Children 5 and under are free
• Admission includes access to the Museum & Education Center
Have you visited Mount Vernon recently?
