History Salon & Networking Lunch - May 2025

Welcome to Joe Himali's History Salon, an event for people interested in the history, people, architecture and built environment of the Washington Metropolitan Area.

This salon will be held at Anderson House, a National Historic Landmark in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Anderson House was completed in 1905 as the winter home of a wealthy American couple, Larz and Isabel Anderson. The Andersons devoted their lives to public service, travel, entertaining, collecting, and philanthropy—interests and activities that are reflected in Anderson House, where much of the couple’s art collection and furnishings are still on display. Today Anderson House is the headquarters of the Society of the Cincinnati and its American Revolution Institute, which fulfills its historical mission with its museum, library, and education programs devoted to the history and legacy of the American Revolution, as well as preserving Anderson House and its stories.

The doors open at 11:15am…
