Daughters of the American Revolution

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is a historic organization founded in 1890 that consists of women who can trace their lineage back to individuals involved in the American Revolution. Its members promote patriotism, historic preservation, education, and community service. The organization supports initiatives like maintaining historical landmarks, providing scholarships, and fostering a greater appreciation for American history. Membership is based on proven descent from a patriot who supported the revolutionary cause, making DAR a way for women to honor their ancestors and contribute positively to society through civic engagement.
