About this Event
In his 1969 book about Tudor Place, its final owner, Armistead Peter 3rd , commented that in the increasingly common conversations happening about old houses “they are hardly ever spoken of or considered in the light of their original function: to be a family home.” Five years after his passing, and in accordance with his wishes, his own family home opened as a historic house museum. Who is the man that turned his home into a museum, and how can a family home help us tell more than just the story of the Peter family?
