On August 12, 1922, the home of Frederick Douglass, known as Cedar Hill, was officially designated a national shrine in Washington, D.C. This recognition honored Douglass’s legacy as an abolitionist, writer, orator, and statesman. The house, located in the Anacostia neighborhood, became part of the National Park System and is now preserved as the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site.
Visitors can tour the house, which still contains many of Douglass’s personal belongings, and learn about his incredible contributions to civil rights and social justice.
