Founded in 1890, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution promotes
patriotism, preserves American history and supports better education for our nation’s
children.
The members of DAR are descended from the patriots who won American independence during
the Revolutionary War. They present programs to school children and adults emphasizing
upholding and understanding the Constitution.
More than 175,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, the DAR is one of the
world’s largest and most active service organizations. In addition to its educational programs,
scholarships are offered to qualifying college students.
The Texas Society Daughters of the American Revolution is the DAR’s largest group with over
17,000 members. Since its founding in 1894, Texas daughters have been energetic advocates of
the objectives of the national society. The chapter in the town where I live was the 8th
chapter founded in Texas. In 2013 it celebrated its 110th anniversary.
Ever working for God, home and country, these career women, homemakers, volunteers and
civic leaders all represent today’s DAR.
