Christian Heurich’s granddaughter, Jan Evans, will host a special History & Hops at the Heurich
House Museum on July 20 th from 6:30-8:30pm. Mrs. Evans was very close to her grandparents,
Christian and Amelia Heurich, and lived with them for a time in their Dupont Circle mansion. She
will discuss her time in Washington, D.C. as well as her family’s history and legacy. Guests will
be able to speak directly with Mrs. Evans as well as enjoy beer, snacks, and tours of the historic
Heurich House Museum.
Born in Hawaii, Mrs. Evans has lived in Japan, Cuba, Florida, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. A
local business-woman, she is a current board member of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants
of Washington, D.C. and Director of the Friends of the National World War II Memorial. Mrs.
Evans was also instrumental in establishing her grandparents’ home as a museum. Together
with her cousin Gary Heurich, she created the Heurich House Foundation and helped the
organization purchase the Heurich mansion in 2003, from the Historical Society of Washington,
D.C. The Heurich House museum would not exist today, in its intact form, without her
intervention.
Guests at History & Hops will have the chance to meet and speak with Mrs. Evans as she
recounts her time spent in Washington, D.C. with her grandparents between 1930 and 1956.
The museum will also feature a variety of drinks to celebrate Mrs. Evans’ time spent traveling
the world.

Get ready to bebop down below! Dupont Underground, the arts and cultural organization that lies beneath Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle, will host “Meet Me at the Underground: A Jazz Age Soiree” on Friday, October 27. The restored space will be a subterranean 1920’s-style speakeasy for the evening, with jazz musicians performing live, dramatic costumes of the era, and an art-deco-inspired beverage from neighboring Dupont restaurant, Firefly.
From 7:00-11:00 p.m., soiree attendees can dance the night away to lively tunes from jazz musician Dante Pope. International jazz vocalist Rochelle Rice will join Dante for a special performance and may even show guests how to snap their fingers like a true jazz enthusiast. Attendees are encouraged to dress the part with costumes inspired by the period.
Firefly’s Lead Bartender Brendan Ambrose will be composing a melodic masterpiece of his own. His riff on a jazz-era cocktail will be a feast for the senses featuring freshly-picked herbs and flowers from Firefly’s rooftop garden.
What’s the Secret Password?
One may argue a true speakeasy has a password, and “A Jazz Age Soiree” does not disappoint. Prior to dancing the jitterbug, partygoers are invited to Firefly for a special pre-show dinner menu. For $35, diners will receive an appetizer, an entrée, and a glass of house wine. Any guest that comes into the restaurant on Friday, October 27 with the password “UNDERGROUND” may receive the dinner deal.
“Meet Me at the Underground: A Jazz Age Soiree” is open to the public. Guests must be 21+ to attend. Tickets are $20 on Ticketfly, and $25 at the door.
