How to become a member of the Hickory Bluff Chapter, NSDAR
Please contact our Chapter Registrar for questions about membership. Alternatively, you can fill out our Hickory Bluff Prospective Member form, save it, and attach the saved copy in an email to our Chapter Registrar.
Eligibility for Membership
If you are over 17 years of age, have a birth certificate that states your gender as female, and can prove that you are a direct descendant from a person who contributed to securing American independence, you are eligible to join the DAR. It is not just relatives of soldiers who qualify; DAR lists a broad range of activities that helped achieve our independence. To view this list, visit ACCEPTED REVOLUTIONARY WAR SERVICE on the NSDAR website.
You must be able to provide documentation proving you are a descendant of this ancestor. This will include documentation of birth, marriage, and death of your ancestors and a record of Revolutionary War service. Our Chapter Registrar will work with you to obtain and assemble this documentation for your DAR application.
Why Join?
Joining the DAR allows you to honor your patriot ancestor by continuing to serve our county and promote patriotism through a wide range of volunteer activities. DAR’s mission is to actively support historic preservation, promotion of education, and patriotic endeavors. In practice, this may mean anything from providing scholarships, caroling at a Veteran’s Home or planting and maintaining pollinator gardens.
