★★★ cONNECTICUT dAUGHTERS OF THE aMERICAN rEVOLUTION, nsdar ★★★
In 2026, our nation will celebrate its 250th Anniversary.
The year promises to hold many meaningful events that are equal to or better than our nation’s Bicentennial in 1976. The next several years are the key planning period as we advance towards “America 250!” in our beloved Connecticut and our 42, and growing, chapters. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) is a non-political women’s service organization dedicated to historic preservation, education, and patriotism with a strong focus on supporting veterans and members of our nation’s active military and their families.
One common thread that unites all DAR members; each member can trace her family tree to someone who contributed to American independence during the American Revolutionary War. There are four ways in which an ancestor might have contributed. They might have fought in the war, helped fund the war, provided material assistance, or signed an oath of allegiance like the oath signed at Valley Forge. If you think that you have this connection to the American Revolutionary War in your family tree, we encourage you to apply for membership. Over one million women have joined the DAR since its founding in 1890.
