DAR Program

The First Resistance Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will make a presentation on the Sewn in America DAR Museum exhibit in the church sanctuary this Thursday, Feb. 5th from 2:00 to 2:30pm.

The speaker will be Denise Kindschi Gosselin, DAR Museum Corresponding Docent. Light refreshments will be served in the Community Room following the program.

The DAR Museum is a decorative arts museum located in the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) headquarters in Washington, DC. Since the beginning of the NSDAR in 1890, the DAR Museum has collected, preserved, and interpreted furnishings, ceramics, glass, textiles, and household items that were made and used in America through the early 20th century. Through its collections, the museum inspires conversations about the diverse American experience, encouraging people to discover common ground.

The museum's Sewn In America exhibit celebrates the history and art of sewing. The presentation examines the way in which American women (and men) from the 18th and 19th centuries learned and used their sewing skills to furnish their households, earn livings, and express themselves - for necessity and fancy! And as they emigrated to our country, women brought their heritage, which they reflected in their work.
