Introduction
The Daughters of the American Revolution Museum sits in downtown Washington, D.C., just steps from the White House, and is operated by the DAR organization founded in 1890. Its collections include extensive artifacts, furniture, decorative arts and documents related to the American Revolution and the early republic. Thirty-one period rooms each explore a different theme, ranging from 18th-century silver and porcelain to George Washington's personal effects and the everyday objects of early American women, together painting a vivid picture of society before and after independence. The building itself is an elegant neoclassical structure, and the free lectures and special exhibitions offered throughout the year are popular with history enthusiasts.
