The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site preserves the last residence of Frederick Douglass, one of the most prominent African American leaders of the 19th century. The site includes the home, known as Cedar Hill, where Douglass lived from 1877 until his death in 1895. The house has 21 rooms, including a two-story library and kitchen wings, and offers a sweeping view of the U.S. Capitol and the Washington, D.C. skyline. Visitors can explore the home and learn about Douglass's life and legacy, including his work as a leading voice in the abolitionist movement and his later years as a cultivated member of high society
