What is DAR?
The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) members come from diverse backgrounds and have a variety of interests. Members care about honoring their ancestors, educating our youth and preserving our past.  For more than 120 years, the DAR has carried the torch of patriotism. Love of country was the purpose; ancestors who fought for freedom was the bond that connected women to unite and form an organization that honored heritage and worked to ensure a bright future for our children.

Today, Daughters continue the tradition of promoting patriotism, education, and historic preservation. From small towns to metropolitan areas, DAR members make a difference in their communities.
