Welcome to the Georgia State Society, NSDAR!
Whether you’re exploring your family history, looking for meaningful ways to serve your community, or simply curious about DAR, we’re so glad you’re here. Welcome to the Georgia State Society, Daughters of the American Revolution!
Across Georgia, nearly 8,000 Daughters in 110 chapters are making a difference through our enduring mission of Historic Preservation, Education, and Patriotism. In communities large and small, Georgia Daughters preserve places that tell America’s story, invest in the next generation, honor those who have served our nation, and strengthen the communities we call home. We’d love to help you discover how your own talents and interests can become part of that mission.
Founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., DAR is a nonprofit, nonpolitical women’s service organization committed to preserving our nation’s heritage and serving communities across America.
Whether supporting active-duty military personnel and veterans, awarding scholarships, assisting schools, restoring historic sites, preserving genealogical records and historical documents, or serving neighbors through local projects, DAR members make a meaningful difference every day. Every member brings unique gifts, and together we make a lasting impact.
Any woman 18 years of age 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.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you have a Revolutionary War Patriot in your family tree, we’d be delighted to help you begin that journey. Chances are, there’s a Georgia chapter nearby ready to welcome you, answer your questions, and help you discover all that DAR has to offer.
We hope you’ll explore the opportunities, friendships, and sense of purpose that make DAR such a meaningful part of our lives. We look forward to welcoming you into the Georgia DAR family.
