National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR)

The DAR, founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America’s future through better education for children.

Florida State Society Daughters of the American Revolution

On May 25, 1892, Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, President General of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and wife of the 23rd President of the United States of America, appointed Mrs. J.N.C. Stockton as regent to organize the first Florida DAR chapter in Jacksonville. Three years later on April 2, 1895, the State of Florida had its very first DAR chapter, the “Jacksonville Chapter.” On March 12, 1894, Mrs. Adlai E. Stevenson, then President General, appointed Mrs. D. G. Ambler as Florida State Regent. Mrs. Ambler was later elected State Regent in February 1896 and she served through 1897.

National Society Sons of the American Revolution

The Sons of the American Revolution is the leading male lineage society that perpetuates the ideals of the war for independence.  As a historical, educational, and patriotic, non-profit corporation organized under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, we seek to maintain and expand the meaning of patriotism, respect for our national symbols, the value of American citizenship, and the unifying force of “e pluribus unum” that was created from the people of many nations — one nation and one people.

Children of the American Revolution

Our youth from infancy to age 22 can enjoy the membership benefits of the National Society Children of the American Revolution. Across our nation, local Societies of C.A.R. are active in projects on historic preservation, education, and patriotic endeavors, just as the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution are. This forges a wonderful opportunity for families to pursue common interests centered around established programs of C.A.R, SAR, and DAR. Precious family time together is enriched with guided activities, building character and an experience base for our youngsters.
