Oooh!  Ooh!  Over here!  *waving hand frantically*

Here at the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum, we've got 32 period
rooms.  Our oldest room went up in 1910, and the rest of them followed in
fits and starts from there on.  Most of them interpret in the mid-1800's,
but some are earlier and one or two do 1930's Colonial Revival, so we have
martini glasses and such in them.  There's also a small gallery as part of
the museum, but the period rooms hold the majority of the collection.
