On January 17, 1898, twelve local women came together in Rockland, Maine, to form the Lady Knox Chapter NSDAR. The chapter was named for Lucy Flucker Knox, wife of Major General and First Secretary of War, Henry Knox. The first meeting was at the home of organizing chapter regent Eva Butler.
One hundred and twenty years later, the chapter is still active, vital, and growing. Today’s Lady Knox Chapter, NSDAR members are a diverse group of women. We are professionals, paraprofessionals, artists, poets, homemakers, and retirees of differing ages and backgrounds. Through our Revolutionary War Patriot ancestors, we share a common bond that unites us in a common mission: to perpetuate the memory and the spirit of the men and women who achieved American independence; to promote the development of an enlightened public opinion; and to foster patriotic citizenship. Lady Knox members are actively involved in chapter projects and community events promoting patriotism, historic preservation, and education.
We invite and welcome you to attend any of the Lady Knox Chapter, NSDAR meetings or events, meet our Daughters, and explore what we do. Monthly meetings include a social period, a business session, and a program with a notable speaker.
