Greetings from Massachusetts!

Welcome to the Bay State on behalf of the more than 2,400 Massachusetts Daughters. The Massachusetts State Society Daughters of the American Revolution (MDAR) was organized in 1892. Today, we have 40 chapters from the sandy shores of Cape Cod and the Islands to the forests and mountains of the Berkshires. Our state is home to some of the earliest history of America. Many Daughters can trace their families to the 1600s in Massachusetts - to the Minutemen and Sons of Liberty. At Provincetown on Cape Cod where the Pilgrims first landed to Plymouth, Boston, Salem, Lexington, and Concord when the western migration and expansion of the colony took hold. Massachusetts Daughters are deeply proud of our state’s heritage and the mission of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) and its objectives of historic preservation, education, and patriotism.

The National Society was founded over 132 years ago and is a vibrant service-oriented organization. The national headquarters for NSDAR or DAR is located in Washington, D.C. It encompasses one full city block and is known as our “House Beautiful." DAR has one of the most outstanding genealogical research libraries in the world, an award-winning magazine The American Spirit, a world-class museum, period rooms, and much more. Today’s DAR has over 190,000 members from all corners of the world.

Please browse our website and see why we are so proud to be Daughters of the American Revolution for God, Home, and Country. We are an organization open to all women 18 years or older who can prove ancestors who supported the cause of the American Revolutionary War. Catch our enthusiasm; it’s contagious, come join us with the 250th founding of our great nation approaching!

In DAR Friendship,
