Do you have a Revolutionary Patriot in your Family Tree?
Membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) honors and preserves the legacy of the men and women who achieved American independence. Nearly two and a half centuries ago, patriots fought and sacrificed for the freedoms we cherish today.
As a DAR member, you carry forward this legacy by actively supporting the Society’s mission of historic preservation, education, and patriotism through meaningful programs and service in your community.
Eligibility: Any woman, age 18 or older, regardless of race, religion, or background, is eligible for membership if she can document lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who contributed to the cause of American independence.
Acceptable Service
The National Society reserves the right to determine the acceptability of all service and proof thereof. The National Society accepts service, with some exceptions, for the period between April 19, 1775 (Battle of Lexington) and November 26, 1783 (withdrawal of British Troops from New York).
Eligibility for membership is for 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.
