Join DAR to make a difference…

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) is an organization with a deeply rich history while also being truly relevant in today’s world. More than 1,000,000 women have joined the organization since it was founded over 125 years ago. They became members to honor their heritage as well as make a difference in their communities across the country and the world.  All members, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, document and trace their lineal descent to a patriot of the American Revolution - those who helped achieve American independence through military, civil, or patriotic service. If you need assistance in tracing your lineage, please contact us for assistance!

Objectives: Historic Preservation, Education, Patriotism
Motto: God, Home, and Country
