The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is a non-profit women’s service organization dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education, patriotism and honoring the patriots of all wars and especially those in the Revolutionary War. DAR members come from a variety of backgrounds and interests, but all share a common bond of having an ancestor who helped contribute to the securing of the independence of the United States of America. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible to join.
