Throughout the history of DAR, historic preservation has always been one of the main focuses of the mission of the national organization. Arkansas State Society DAR members participate in a wide variety of historic preservation projects as it is crucial to saving our history for future generations. Projects include:
NSDAR Links
- DAR Historic Preservation Efforts
- Historic Preservation
- Historic Sites and Properties
- Arichives & History
The Arkansas State Society Daughters of the American Revolution also contribute to historic preservation efforts across our state. The Old State House Museum in Little Rock houses a DAR Room where members volunteer their time, assist staff with tours, and provide hospitality during the annual Christmas Open House.
Arkansas Daughters have placed numerous historic markers and monuments throughout the state, ensuring our history is remembered.
In 1926, an Arkansas DAR chapter dedicated a stone monument at the Louisiana Purchase Initial Survey Point, the spot from which 83,000 square miles of wilderness land included in the Louisiana Purchase was first mapped.
