Guided Tours
Step inside the Branch House and explore the enduring legacy of one of Virginia’s most culturally influential families. Built in 1916 for John Kerr Branch and designed by renowned architect John Russell Pope, the home is a remarkable example of Tudor Revival architecture and a reflection of the Branch family’s deep engagement with the arts and education.
Through this guided tour, learn how the Branch family helped shape the cultural landscape of their time—supporting the growth of art institutions, advancing music through symphonic patronage, and contributing to educational initiatives that extended well beyond their home.
Discover the architectural details and layered history that make the Branch House not just a residence, but a testament to a family’s far-reaching vision for art, culture, and civic life.
