DAR Headquarters is shining for the holiday season! We hope that our beautiful building’s sparkling Holiday Illumination will be an inspiration to brighten the darkness as we say goodbye to 2020. And I’m delighted to share that even if you can’t enjoy our decorations in person, we have virtual ways for you to take pleasure in the holiday spirit that is on full display here in Washington, D.C.

Holiday Illumination
Thousands of lights now adorn our House Beautiful, including the first-time holiday lighting of the Founders Memorial. Our large Christmas tree on the D Street portico is aglow with red, white and blue lights and festooned with sparkling patriotic bows, making her a must-see vision by both day and night throughout the holiday season.
While I wish you were all able to be here at the building to celebrate the season, I hope that you will enjoy this short video as a way to virtually visit 1776 D Street.
