According to the National Park Service, which maintains this home and grounds, Cedar Hill underwent renovations over the last three years to install a new HVAC system. This will protect historic oil paintings and the finish on furniture.

Now, visitors to the home can watch an interesting 17-minute video and view Douglass’s library along with his personal items on guided tours that give a glimpse into Douglass’s life in DC in his final years.
