Founded in 1894, the Historical Society is the only citywide nonprofit organization whose sole mission is to preserve, present and interpret the history of Washington, D.C. and its people. In 2003, the Historical Society opened its most ambitious project to date, the City Museum. A place of introduction and orientation to a thriving international capital, the museum is housed in the Carnegie Library building, located on Mount Vernon Square in the heart of downtown. By making that history accessible, understandable and relevant to a diverse public, the Society works to instill a sense of identity, place and pride in Washington for those who live and work here — and for the nation as a whole.
