National Society Daughters of the American Revolution

The Daughters of the American Revolution is a non-profit, non-political, volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history and securing America's future through better education.

More than 200 years ago, American patriots fought and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Our Purpose

The purpose of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is threefold—Patriotic, Historic, Educational.

Most DAR volunteer work is accomplished under a committee system. Members find many possibilities to serve within this system.

Promoting the ideals of patriotism and love of country is as relevant today as it was in the year 1776. Our members believe in trying to make America a better place in which to live.
