John Strong DAR Mansion Museum
6656 Route 17W, West Addison, VT 05491 Email: dlames@surfglobal.net Telephone: 802-759-2309 The DAR John Strong Mansion Museum was built in the mid-1790's by General John Strong and his wife Agnes McClure Strong to replace the family's cabin that had been burned by the Indian and Tory forces under General John Burgoyne. Five generations of the Strong family occupied this lovely home until around the Civil War. In 1934, the John Strong Mansion was purchased by the Vermont State Society Daughters of the American Revolution. The rooms display period furnishings and exhibits tell the story of a colonial family's life in the northern wilderness. The building is accented by herb and perennial gardens. The DAR John Strong Mansion Museum has been operated by the Vermont State Society Daughters of the American Revolution continuously since 1934 and is staffed by DAR Volunteer Docents.
