"A special case exhibition to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of Dumbarton House being turned over for use as headquarters of the DC Chapter of the American Red Cross during World War II!  On exhibition, for example, will be circa 1940s photos, a World War II Red Cross uniform, and documents explaining the work of the DC Chapter of the American Red Cross. In cooperation with Women In Military Service For America (WIMSA)."

"The mission of the Dumbarton House museum, a Federal Period historic house, ca. 1800, is to preserve the historic structure and its collections and to educate the public about life in Washington, D.C., during the early years of the Republic. Emphasis is placed on Joseph Nourse, first Register of the Treasury, and his family, and their occupation of the property from 1804 through 1813."

Dumbarton House is open Tuesday - Sunday. You can also stay connected to the Dumbarton House on facebook here, that's where I found the picture above.
