Join us for our own docent led tour of the Old Korean Legation Museum, the sole example of preserved nineteenth-century diplomatic mission buildings in Washington D.C. The first and second floors were restored based on historical research, true to the original form of the late nineteenth century when the Korean Legation was in operation. The third floor was refurbished into an exhibition space to inform visitors on the history of Korea-U.S. relations.
The Old Korean Legation building was erected in 1877 as the house of American Civil War naval hero, politician, and diplomat Seth Ledyard Phelps (1824–1885). After becoming the Korean Legation in 1889, the building provided a main stage for the active diplomatic endeavors.
Please arrive at 10:45 to gather and say 'Hi' before our 11:00 am tour. The tour will take about 1 hour. After, we'll head to the nearby Bar Pilar for our congenial brunch.
Event host: Susal Lilly. Repeat attendees will be invited to host a future event.
