Joining DAR gives you a way to honor and preserve 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 continue this legacy by actively supporting historic preservation, promotion of education, and patriotic endeavors.
  • Do you know your American roots and your family’s role in America’s history?
  • Do you have an ancestor who fought in or supported the American Revolution?
  • Do you want to make a difference in your community and help preserve America’s heritage?

Who is Eligible for Membership?
Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership. Tracing your lineage is valuable because it preserves your family’s heritage.
