Explore the American home with our 31 period rooms and so much more! FREE
The DAR Museum exhibits the furniture, ceramics, paintings, textiles and other decorative things people kept in their homes. Get an idea of how Americans lived when the United States was new through our 31 period rooms, each decorated to look like a specific time period and place in American history. The rooms range in date from 1690-1930.
