The DAR Museum is open during the week until 4pm and worth a visit. It's free and the museum gallery itself is tiny. It's two rooms mainly telling the story of DAR and showcasing a few historic quilts. You can breeze through it in minutes.

The real magic is outside of the actual gallery. On several floors, there are 31 state period rooms showing what homes looked like a long time ago. Each room explains the state that sponsored the room and how it's set up.

Leave at least an hour to explore the massive library. It room itself is stunningly gorgeous and houses thousands of books about US history, genealogy, etc. It's a hidden gem of the city!
