ABOUT OUR NATIONAL SOCIETY

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) was founded on October 11, 1890, with the purposes of historic preservation, promotion of education, and patriotic endeavors.  Any woman who is no less than 18 years of age and who can prove lineal, blood line descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence is eligible for membership in the NSDAR.  Documentation of said lineage must be provided according to NSDAR guidelines on the official membership application and with acceptable supporting materials.

The national society has 38 standing committees which promote its three purposes.  These include: educational programs, scholarship competitions, citizenship awards, school contests, sponsorship of schools for underprivileged children, literacy programs, genealogical records, national genealogical library, lineage research, DAR Museum, community service, national defense, units overseas, Constitution and Flag of the USA, conservation, commemorative events, naturalization, and volunteerism.  The NSDAR fact sheet can provide more specific information regarding the  activities of each committee.  It can be found on the NSDAR web  site, located at www.dar.org.  For more information on the DAR in Nevada, visit the Nevada State Society DAR.

Where ever your interest lies, the DAR has a program area where you can enjoy working with other women to support God, Home, and Country.
