SPIRIT OF THE WEST
BE ENTHUSIASTIC FOR HISTORY
BE INVOLVED WITH EDUCATION
BE ENERGIZED BY PATRIOTISM
The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership.
T he Wyoming State Society, NSDAR, was organized in 1915. There are currently ten chapters located across the 97,818 square miles of Wyoming that we call home. Members support DAR’s national committees, and have won national awards for American heritage, conservation, Constitution Week, and women’s Issues. Each chapter is a proud partner of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War Commemoration, and supports America’s service members and their families.
WYOMING DAUGHTERS IN ACTION
Volunteer service is a cornerstone of DAR’s mission. The organization was founded with the simple mission of promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism. These goals are as relevant in today’s society as in 1890. Wyoming’s members touch the lives of many throughout our state by volunteering their time and talents in various efforts. In 2023, Wyoming daughters recorded over 20.000 hours of Service to America.
Members participate in projects to help preserve the history and heritage of our country. They assist in preserving and transcribing documents, restoring gravestones, and placing markers at locations of historic significance. Daughters also work to inform and educate our communities about different areas of American history.
Wyoming Daughters support good citizenship in our schools, promote literacy, sponsor essay contests, and recognize outstanding students throughout the state. Student scholarships and classroom teacher grants are awarded every year.
Members volunteer at veteran facilities, support active-duty military soldiers with cards and care packages, and create Quilts of Valor for service members touched by war. Daughters attend naturalization ceremonies across the state, welcoming new citizens, promote Constitution Day, and participate in Wreaths Across America.
