Sulgrave Manor is offering free entry to citizens of the USA on Monday, February 20th to mark Presidents' Day. This is a new initiative to for the Manor which is the ancestral home of the family of the first President.

The Manor was purchased in the early 20th century by donations from both sides of the Atlantic to be a symbol of friendship between the British and American peoples. So it is appropriate that Americans living in Britain should be invited to come to the Manor on the day which celebrates those who have held the office of US President from the very first one, who was the five times great grand-son of the man who built Sulgrave Manor. All we ask is that Americans bring some form of formal identification with them - their passport, military ID or similar.

Visitors will be given a tour of the manor house by a costumed presenter focussing on the Washington family connection and the largest collection of Washington memorabilia in the UK.

The house opens at 10.30 and tours will run at approximately, 11.00, 12.30, 2.30 and 4.00. Each tour last about 75 minutes and then there is time to take a look at the grounds, if the weather permits and to have some light refreshments in the Buttery and maybe take home some souvenirs from the shop.
