Join Us!
Do you have an American Revolutionary War Patriot in your family tree? Membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution honors and preserves the legacy of your Patriot ancestor. Over two hundred years ago American patriots fought and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today. As a member of DAR, you can honor this legacy by actively supporting historic preservation, promotion of education, and patriotic endeavors. We’d love to have you join us!
DAR is a volunteer women’s service organization, and any woman is eligible for membership who is no less than 18 years of age and can prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence.
Founded in 1890, there are approximately 185,000 members in 3,000 chapters located across the United States and around the world. DAR members and chapters support historic restorations and act to preserve historic revolutionary landmarks. The DAR provides scholarships to outstanding students and supports citizenship.
The first step to membership in DAR is to gather the genealogical information that you already have and contact our chapter. We will guide you through the application process and answer any questions you may have. You do not need to have completed your genealogical research in order to start the application process toward becoming a Daughter. You will be welcome to attend our chapter meetings, which are held monthly with the exceptions of September and March. Contact our chapter for more information about our meetings.
