JOIN THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Do you have a Revolutionary Patriot in your family tree? Consider membership in the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), a volunteer women's service organization that honors and preserves the legacy of our Patriot ancestors.

The DAR gives prospective members an opportunity for service in many areas. It is a way to join with other members in trying to make America a better place in which to live. It offers encouragement to become active in the community, to assist in historic preservation, to help preserve important documents and records of the past. It offers an opportunity to meet new people with similar interests, develop friendships, and to join with others in promoting the ideals of patriotism and love of country. It offers an incentive to become involved in conservation of our natural resources and to make a difference by doing so. It also offers an opportunity to work with the youth of this great country through the educational programs offered by the NSDAR. Take a video tour of Today's DAR on YouTube.

Did you know that Clara Barton, founder and president of the American Red Cross, was a member of DAR? Susan B. Anthony, the well-known suffragette, and Grandma Moses, the famous painter, were also members. Other famous DAR members include a U.S. Navy Admiral; a female astronaut; a past Attorney General; a past Secretary of the Treasury; a U.S. Senator; a former U.S. Congresswoman; as well as the wives of many Presidents of the United States of America.

Eligibility:

Any woman regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, is eligible for membership who is at least eighteen years of age and can prove lineal, blood line descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence. You must provide documentation for each statement of birth, marriage, and death. Helpful hints for obtaining documentation are available on the National website.

You may attend our Chico Chapter meetings as our guest while you are still completing your DAR application. Please contact our regent, our registrar, or a current Chico Daughter for more information.
