Since 1987, the United States has recognized March as Women’s History Month. As a women’s service organization, this is one of our favorite months of the year! This year, in partnership with the DAR Library, DAR Archives and National Museum of Women in the Arts, the DAR Museum hosted a “Women’s History Day” to honor women’s contributions to the American story. The celebration attracted nearly 200 men, women, and children and brought necessary attention to some of the familiar and unfamiliar women that have helped define our national history.

“Women’s History Day” recognized women’s achievements as artists, scientists, suffragists, explorers, spies, historians, and First Ladies through games, tours, and crafts. Each station highlighted a notable American woman from the field and featured a related activity. Check out the photographs for some of the event highlights!
