DAR Museum
The National Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution houses an exquisite collection of nineteenth century furnishings and
thirty-three rooms designed in period styles. Kids 5 – 7 will enjoy the
"Colonial Adventure" tours.
Located on the Mall next to the Headquarters of the
American Red Cross, The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)
is a nice place to visit if you have a couple of days to spend in Washington D.C. The
Museum houses a 50,000-item collection of American furnishings including silver, china and
porcelain. The objects are displayed in thirty-three-rooms that are each designed in the
style of various states at different points in history.
Children love the "Colonial Adventure" tours where costumed
guides walk through the exhibits describing life in Colonial America. "Colonial
Adventure" tours are conducted on the first and third Sundays of the month, but the
generic tours are available weekdays 10-2:30 and Sundays 1-5. Make reservations in advance
for the "Colonial America" tour.
