DAR is pleased to announce that after a strenuous five year restoration effort, the Marian Anderson Museum And Historical Society in Philadelphia will be reopening to the public on March 1, 2025. The Museum is housed in the historic 1920s row house that Ms. Anderson and her family used to live in. After suffering a devastating flood caused by pipes bursting, the Museum has gone through a comprehensive historic restoration to reopen to the public with upgraded structural and facility enhancements, as well as restored artifacts and new exhibits so it is ready for a new era of education and community building. DAR was proud to provide significant donations and other support toward the Marian Anderson Museum’s restoration efforts. We are thrilled to be joining in the Marian Anderson Museum reopening festivities in Philadelphia and DAR is proud to be a sponsor of the Reopening Gala Celebration on March 2, 2025. DAR members and the public are invited to attend the Gala and can learn more and purchase tickets at the Marian Anderson Museum’s website at https://marianandersonhistoricalsociety.weebly.com/.
