Welcome to the Georgia State Society, DAR!
WELCOME to our great state where almost 8,000 Georgia Daughters of the American Revolution are key to Historic Preservation, Education, and Patriotism. With 111 chapters across the state, there is a chapter in every community eager to help eligible women become members.
The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) was founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a non- profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to preserving American History, securing America’s future through better education for children, and promoting patriotism.
DAR members volunteer in their local communities including supporting active-duty military personnel and assisting veterans, awarding scholarships and financial aid each year to students, and supporting schools for under-served children with donations, restoring historical sites and preserving genealogical records and historical documents. Any woman 18 years or older regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnic background who can prove lineal descent from a Patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership.
Georgia Daughters welcome you to JOIN DAR! We encourage YOU to find the Patriot in your family so you may be part of this dynamic women’s service organization!
Volunteer hearts are key,

Daughters of the American Revolution
For more than a century, the members of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution have dedicated themselves to historical preservation, promotion of education, and encouragement of patriotic endeavor. These goals are as relevant in today’s society as they were when the organization was founded in 1890.
DAR members participate in a wide variety of Historic Preservation projects as it is crucial to saving our history for future generations.
The DAR is passionate about educating America’s youth and supports a variety of different programs, contests and awards to help further this goal.
Patriotism is the foundation of the many DAR activities that take place in local communities across the country.
