DAR Museum, located in Washington, District of Columbia, offers focused educational programs and museum experiences that connect visitors to family history and American life. The museum presents guided tours, youth badge programs, monthly online talks, and portable education rentals for schools and community groups. Featured offerings include the Brownie Girl Scout Badge program, the Junior Girl Scout Badge program, guided exploration of the period rooms, the Tuesday Talk lecture series, and Portable Education Program (PEP) rentals. These programs use storytelling, object-based learning, hands-on crafts, and role-play to engage learners of varying ages and backgrounds.
The Brownie Girl Scout Badge session invites families to explore ancestry, play storytelling games, create diaries, and build a simple family tree while earning the “My Family Story” badge. The Junior Girl Scout Badge program transports participants to 1913 to recreate a suffrage parade, craft a “Votes for Women” sash, and prepare brief speeches while working toward the “Playing the Past” badge. Guided Exploration of the Period Rooms offers tours of historically furnished rooms that illustrate domestic life across different eras. Tuesday Talk provides monthly online presentations focusing on the history of Black craftsmanship and regional artisans. Portable Education Program Rentals supply themed, hands-on curriculum stations covering currency and jobs; food and clothing; education and play; and household management. Each offering supports educational goals and group learning in a museum setting.
Programs are suitable for families, school groups, scouts, and community organizations; bookings and details are available through the museum's program listings, and seasonal special events.
