Just a heads up about the DAR museum:? This week is Continental Congress for NSDAR members (national conference) so the museum may not be open to outsiders.? Congress ends Sunday, so next week should be fine.? I attended Congress two years ago and at that time the museum was showing nightgowns!?

Washington DC:? The DAR museum: http://www.dar.org/museum/ . Write and ask for Alden O'Brien for a behind-the-scenes tour of their costume collection. She is wonderful and very friendly!? ? The Hope Diamond is at the Museum of Natural History. I could stare at it for hours. There are some nice gems at the museum.? **cut** _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
