It's a pretty sprawling suburb, and the question would be how close 103 W. Montgomery Avenue is to the Red Line. You could either email the folks at the Historical Society and ask them which stop to use and how to get to the museum from the subway, or you could ask the people at the hotel where you'll be staying. You would certainly want to allow an entire afternoon for the trip, but the DC Metro is pretty easy to use. There is a Metro website at wmata.com, but it wins the honors for the most counter-intuitive website I've ever seen. It offers you a route search and then says, "Please don't use city, state, or zip code." So your best bet will be to ask directions once you arrive.

I'm going to be in DC this weekend for the No Kill Conference being put on Nathan Wingograd's organization - is that very far from where this museum is? Is there any way that I can get to see this museum while I'm in Washington? Or am I being the equivalent of an American bringing my skis to Canada in July?
