Explore Frederick Douglass' Home Cedar Hill restored to circa 1895 Washington, DC
Frederick Douglass When I ran away from slavery, it was for myself; when I advocated emancipation it was for my people... Frederick Douglass has been called the father of the civil rights movement, and one of the most prominent African-Americans of the 19th Century. His last home he named Cedar Hill is preserved by the US Park Service, located in Anacostia section of the District of Columbia. Guided tours by US Park Service are conducted daily.
Visit to the home of Abolitionist Frederick Douglass in 2019
The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, administered by the National Park Service of the United States, is located at 1411 W Street, South East, in Anacostia, a neighborhood east of the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington, D.C..
Frederick Douglass lived from around February 1818 – February 20, 1895, he was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman.
Established in 1988 as a National Historic Site, the site preserves the home and estate of Frederick Douglass, one of the most prominent African Americans of the 19th century.
Douglass lived in this house, which he named Cedar Hill, from 1877 until his death in 1895. Perched high on a hilltop, the site also offers a sweeping view of the U.S. Capitol and the Washington, D.C., skyline.
The site of the Frederick Douglass home was originally purchased by John Van Hook in about 1855. Van Hook built the main portion of the present house soon after taking possession of the property. For a portion of 1877 the house was owned by the Freedom Savings and Trust Company. Later that year Douglass purchased the home and eventually expanded its 14 rooms to 21, including two-story library and kitchen wings. The house has an L shape and its plan is reminiscent of the design of Andrew Jackson Downing. With the election of President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, Douglass hoped for a political appointment, likely postmaster for Rochester, New York or Ambassador to Haiti. Instead, he was appointed marshal for the District of Columbia, a role which he accepted. His appointment to this highly visible position marked the first time a black man successfully received a federal appointment requiring Senate approval.[3] Douglass, however, was not asked to fill many of the roles expected of a marshal. Typically, the marshal would attend formal White House gatherings and directly introduce guests to the President. Douglass, excused from this role, later complained that he should have resigned because of the slight.
Still, the job brought him financial stability and, in 1878, he purchased the 20-room Victorian home on nine acres which they named Cedar Hill. He bought an additional 15 acres around the property the next year.

F - 2017 ATB Frederick Douglass 5 ounce Unc Silver Coin Unboxing & First Look
Hi, I’m Robert Masters.
Thank you for tuning into the Coins A-Z video channel.
The 2017 ATB Frederick Douglass 5-ounce Unc. Silver Coin
The 2017 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin – Frederick Douglass National Historic Site is the 2nd release of 2017 and the 37th overall issue in the America the Beautiful (ATB) Quarters Program. The coin was released for sale on May 2, 2017.
As described on the U.S. Mint site, the reverse (tails) design of this silver coin depicts Frederick Douglass seated at a writing desk with his home in Washington, D.C., in the background. Inscriptions are “FREDERICK DOUGLASS,” “DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA,” “2017,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site was established in 1962 to preserve the home and legacy of Frederick Douglass—abolitionist, civil rights advocate, author, and statesman. Douglass lived in this home from 1877 until his death in 1895. Frederick Douglass was born into slavery on a plantation on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 1818. By the age of 15, he was a literate, independent teenager who educated other slaves. In 1838, he disguised himself as a sailor and boarded a train to New York City, where he declared himself a free man.
Douglass turned his efforts to helping those still enslaved. An impressive orator, he traveled across the North speaking against slavery. He wrote his first autobiography, in which he revealed his original name, his owner’s names, and his birthplace. In danger of being returned to slavery as a result of this revelation, he fled to the British Isles, where he continued to speak against slavery. Ultimately, British supporters purchased his freedom.
Douglass returned to the United States, and during the Civil War, recruited African–Americans to fight in the Union Army. He continued to write and speak against slavery. He met with Abraham Lincoln to advocate for African American troops and encouraged Lincoln to see the war as a chance to transform the country.
Following the Civil War, Douglass moved to his home in Washington, DC. He served as the U.S. Marshal for the District of Columbia, the District's Recorder of Deeds, U.S. Minister to Haiti, and Chargé d’ Affaires to the Dominican Republic. He continued to work to expand civil rights in the country until his death.1
For those who may not be aware, the U.S. Mint produces 2 versions of each issue of the .999 fine 5 ounce ATB silver coins – a bullion version and an uncirculated collector version. While overall there are similarities between the 2 versions, there are some differences as well. Only the collector version can be purchased directly from the U.S. Mint. The bullion version, only through dealers. Of course, for many international buyers and for after market buyers, the collector version can be purchased from dealers as well. The collector version comes from the U.S. Mint in a clear capsule, inside a presentation box with a C.O.A.2 while the bullion version does not (though many dealers sell the bullion version individually in capsules that they provide). While both versions are struck at the U.S. Mint’s Philadelphia facility, only the collector version has the “P” mint mark. The collector version also has a special finish applied which most readily distinguishes it from the bullion version. That finish is most often referred to as a “vapor blast” finish which is a process applied after the coins are struck by “blasting” a compressed mixture of water vapor and miniscule-sized ceramic media at high velocity onto the surfaces of the coins. The result is a matte glistening or glittery look to the coin surfaces….difficult to describe in words but quite aesthetically appealing when looking at an actual collector (“Uncirculated”) 5 ounce coin. Another difference between the 2 versions is in the quality control and hence the quality of the final product. The collector version coins are each individually inspected before their release for sale while the bullion coins are not and are quickly packed into tubes of 5 and boxed into “Monster Boxes”.3 The quality difference is noticeable upon side-by-side comparisons of the 2 versions of coins and also with TPG4 results where the collector coins frequently grade a flawless 70 while bullion coins, except for 1, have never received a grade by NGC5 that is above 69. That said, some people buy both versions of these 5 oz silver coins.
Mayor Bowser Unveils Design/Timeline for New Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, 8/10/17
Mayor Muriel Bowser unveils the design and timeline of the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge.
The Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is part of the South Capitol Street Corridor Project, the largest public infrastructure project in Washington, DC’s history.
The project includes replacing the 68 year-old bridge and reconstructing the Suitland Parkway/I-295 interchange.
The Mayor was joined by Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, District Department of Transportation (DDOT) Director Leif Dormsjo, and members of the South Capitol Bridgebuilders team.
“Today, we are taking a huge step toward improving the District’s infrastructure and building a safer, stronger DC,” said Mayor Bowser. “The Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and the entire South Capitol Street Corridor Project will create jobs for District residents and provide an iconic gateway between Anacostia and Downtown DC. When completed, this will be a tremendous structure and a fitting memorial for a remarkable American icon.”
The new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge will be built approximately 100 feet from the current bridge.
Construction is expected to begin at the end of 2017 and last through 2021.

Frederick Douglass National Historic Site - Located in the Anacostia Historic District of Washington, D.C.
From 1877 to 1895 this was the home of famous abolitionist, writer, lecturer, statesman, and Underground Railroad conductor, Frederick Douglass. Modest in its scale and ornamentation, Cedar Hill demonstrates the characteristics of a romantic cottage in natural surroundings. Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) moved to Cedar Hill, named after the cedar trees that shaded the house, when he became U.S. marshal of the District of Columbia in 1877. Douglass defied the District's racist housing laws by purchasing this home in a segregated neighborhood.
At the request of his second wife, Helen Pitts Douglass, Congress chartered the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, to whom Mrs. Douglass bequeathed the house. Joining with the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, the association opened the house to visitors in 1916. The property was added to the National Park system on September 5, 1962, and was designated a National Historic Site in 1988.
