Dear Friends,

We write to you this autumn looking back at a year marked by a nation-wide economic crisis that impacted Dumbarton House, but from which our national headquarters and historic house museum have emerged even more committed to our values of education, historic preservation, and patriotic service.

At the start of the fiscal year last September, the Dumbarton House Board and staff established an ambitious set of goals that focused on increased relevancy and enhanced service to both our local museum community and our National Society members. Over the winter, our financial projections began to indicate declines in investment accounts, earned income, and contributions, and we recognized the need to refocus our efforts in order to weather the tide of the recession. We sought new grants, postponed some projects, and adopted a revised budget mid-year that cut expenses in a number of areas.

Amidst this economic uncertainty, interest in Dumbarton House programs and services surged with attendance growing more than 50% over the previous year. First-time participation in established community programs such as a Museum Walk Weekend, expanded signage and visitor center hours, and the popular new youth and adult museum programming, Nation exhibition led to unprecedented visitation and exposure. Preparing Meanwhile, for the Ball: expert Costume masons of completedthe Early conservation of our historic chimneys this spring; researchers finalized the to guide museum collecting and interpretation this summer; and museum staff acquired a number of new items for the museum collection. Historic Furnishings Plan draft The contributions of thousands of donors, volunteers, members, and staff made these tremendous accomplishments possible for Dumbarton House during this challenging year. Thanks to your generosity, Dumbarton House served record numbers of visitors and Dames, and ended the year with a budgetary surplus—remarkable achievements during a period when we have seen other cultural institutions dramatically reduce programming and services. We look forward to maintaining this momentum in the year ahead and thank you for your ongoing support!

Most sincerely,
