The 11th year of Jane Austen at Dumbarton House! Grab a blanket, your date, friends, or family, and enjoy Jane Austen’s timeless love stories under the stars in our beautiful historic garden.

Why do we have the annual Jane Austen Film Festival? The "Federal period" is the American equivalent of the "Regency period" in the United Kingdom. Despite the ocean separating us, cultural and political ties remained strong between the United States and Britain throughout the nineteenth century. Because of the overlap in time and context, we can use Austen’s stories to better understand our history and life in early Washington D.C.
