The Council House was the first headquarters of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) and was Bethune’s last home in Washington, DC. From here, Bethune and the NCNW spearheaded strategies and developed programs that advanced the interests of African American women.
Guided house tours are approximately 45 minutes in length. The visitor center includes exhibits, an audio presentation of Mary McLeod Bethune's last speech, and a gift shop.
