The Pope-Leighy house is an overlooked gem in the Mount Vernon area. There are few Usonian houses open to the public as they were not built for millionaires but for working class people. Many of the concepts Wright espoused resonate with modern sensibilities. You really need to see it to appreciate it. The tour guide was exceptional! This should be on the must see list.

Two different houses with very different stories, but well told and important. Woodlawn's tie to George Washington by multiple different individuals with different viewpoints. Pope-Leighey's design by Frank Lloyd Wright and the people who utilized this small Usonian house. Great interpretations.

Fantastic opportunity to see a Frank Lloyd Wright home, close to DC. This Usonian design, family home, was so interesting and full of detail. Lisa, our guide, made the place come alive with stories and facts. Just visited Falling Water, honestly I enjoyed this tour more, a more intimate experience with lots of relevant details of Wright’s work

Frank Llyod Wright's Pope-Leighy House is beautifully set in the mature autumn woods of the Woodlawn National Trust Property. The tour I took was wonderful. Docent Chris Van Dyke started us outside with a discussion of the construction of the house. Then we took seats in the living room, on replica chairs that match the existing originals and Chris told us the story of the home's design, building and life with two families. We explored the rest of the house, hearing about the people who commissioned it and their interactions with Mr. Wright. She brought the home and the people who loved it to life. This is a great chance to see a Wright designed home up close. Chris is an expert docent and Wright scholar, able to answer all questions. She was generous with her time, and took a few minutes to chat with me at the end. I highly recommend this tour.

This was our first visit to the property, after many years of saying we wanted to go. We bought a combination ticket in advance for tours at Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey. The guides at both houses were wonderful. They provided just the perfect amount and type of information, and we could tell that they really care about the stories behind these buildings. I advise visiting both houses- since both are fascinating, and the contrast in styles is significant. Pope-Leighey is small so the tour size has to be kept low. That's one reason for buying tickets in advance. The experience here is really a gem, one that more folks should know about.

This may be the best twofer ticket in the D.C. area! Woodlawn is a wonderful historic property and then you get the more modern Frank Lloyd Wright house as well. The FLW home is small, but still packed with the architect's signature innovations. Its easy to add these propertys to the nearby Mt. Vernon for a full day of core history and historical architecture.

A great tour of two historical homes. Our tour guides were excellent and provided extensive detail regarding the two properties. Pathways were clearly marked and the properties are well laid out. Would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed our visit. Initially, we were only going to visit the Pope-Leighey House but we added Woodlawn. Glad we saw both, even though the price was a bit steep. But seeing Pope-Leighey made our trip! We only saw a few of the rooms in the Woodlawn house and they are still building their collection. I would visit again.

This was my 3rd visit to the Pope- Leighy House. The area surrounding the house continues to improve. It's a very nice walk to the property. I love Frank Lloyd Wright's work and enjoy seeing his works. The guide was very good and introduced new information. I will mostly visit the house again in a couple of years.

We went for the Pope-Leighey House tour which was fabulous, especially because of our tour guide Karen. She truly has a passion for the home and its history and it came through in her guided tour. Definitely worth the visit to this location and if your a FLLW fan, a must see. PS they have AC, so if it's a scorcher of a day, you will get a bit of relief too... On to Woodlawn, I was impressed with the balanced tour which provided history of both the history and families of the home owners and the slave workers who lived and worked in this home. They are still doing copious research to ensure the full story is represented, but it was impressive to see the progress.
