Our History
Founded in 1890, the DAR is committed to preserving the memory and spirit of those who contributed to American independence. The four women who founded the DAR helped to form the DAR’s lasting mission of promoting three key areas: historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Although our founding principles remain true today, the DAR has evolved to accommodate today’s women and serve contemporary communities domestically and abroad.
Organized April 29, 1891, the Wyoming Valley Chapter, NSDAR, is the oldest chapter in Pennsylvania, and sponsors the Frances Slocum Society, Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.). We are #TodaysDAR #1stinPA
