Trans-Allegheny Projects

  Lewis County Patriots Project is an ongoing effort to supply grave markers for all Revolutionary War Patriots  buried within Lewis County.  Our first marker dedication was July 1, 2006, for Revolutionary War Patriot Adam Flesher .

  Education support programs include "Box Tops for Education," Campbell's Soup Labels," and DAR  supported schools.

   Supporting our veterans is a major project of this chapter. Books have been collected from members to be donated to  the Louis A Johnson Veterans Admin-istration Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia.  Adult bibs have been made by our members and donated. Christmas cards are sent annually, as well as toiletry gifts and personal items.

The Trans-Allegheny Daughter have celebrated "Christmas in July in 2010," "Hawaiian Luau 2011," and will celebrate a "Mardi Gras in 2012" for the WV Veterens' Nursing Home residents in Clarksburg.
