The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded on October 11, 1890, and incorporated in 1896, by an Act of Congress.  Our motto is "God, Home, and Country".

NSDAR is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America’s future through better education.

  Love bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

  (I Corinthians 13:4-7)

  (I Thessalonians 5:16)
