“While walking along the National Mall and wanting to escape the heat, I decided to peek into the Daughter’s of the American Revolution headquarters and it was a such beautiful and unique place to visit. The building itself is gorgeous with grand halls and intricate details.
They have a picturesque library, 3 decorative arts galleries, and 31 “period rooms” which are decorated and furnished to represent various states (including DC) during different time periods from the 1690’s through the 1930’s. My kid especially liked the children’s room and dollhouses throughout the building.
Best of all, it is free and not crowded! They are open M-F 8:30-4:00 and Saturday 9:00-5:00. It is located on 17th St NW with the main entrance on D St NW and the handicap or stroller entrance on C St NW.”
