What You’ll Find
A visit to the Rockville campus of the Historical Society includes a tour of both the Beall-Dawson House (including any special exhibits) and the Stonestreet Museum of 19th Century Medicine. Our tours are docent-led, and generally last 45 minutes to an hour; no tours are begun after 3:30 (3:15 during December). For groups of 8 or more people, please schedule tours in advance by calling our administrative offices at (301) 340-2825.
Summer visitors please note: the Beall-Dawson House is not air-conditioned.
The Rockville campus is also home to the Jane C. Sween Research Library, our main research facility.

Access
The main part of the Beall-Dawson House first floor is reached by several steps.  Non-motorized wheelchairs can be conveyed into one of the first floor rooms, and the museum shop.  The second floor is not handicapped accessible, but notebooks explaining the second floor tour and any special exhibits are available for anyone who cannot make it up the stairs.
The Stonestreet Museum of 19th Century Medicine has three steps leading up to the door; most of the one-room museum is visible from the entrance, however.
The Rockville campus does have a handicapped accessible restroom, available in the research library.
