DAR honors women with Mamie display

The Gettysburg Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is celebrating Women’s History Month by displaying Mamie Eisenhower’s Dress at the World War II American Experience Museum in Gettysburg every weekend this month.

Mamie was an honorary regent of Gettysburg Chapter, NSDAR, and she donated a cocktail dress to them in the 1960s.
