Putnam Cottage and the
Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.)
Putnam Cottage was placed under the care of
the Putnam Hill Chapter, D.A.R., in 1906. The D.A.R. Chapter (organized in 1896) has restored and maintained
this superb place of history ever since. Under the D.A.R. Chapter's aegis, Putnam Cottage
is open to the public as an historical museum, as a learning center for area students, and
as a setting for Revolutionary War celebrations that bring a thrill and pride to people
of the Town and to visitors from all parts of the United States and abroad. The D.A.R. was formed to perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence, to promote the development of an enlightened public opinion and to foster patriotic citizenship. To learn more about the D.A.R., please visit The National D.A.R. web site or the Connecticut State Society of the D.A.R. web site.
