Welcome!
On behalf of the Idaho State Society, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR), welcome to our state website.
Since the founding of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in 1890, Daughters have worked tirelessly to promote patriotism, preserve American history, and secure America's future through better education for children. We are proud of our rich heritage. We invite you to join us as we work together to serve God, Home, and Country.
Idaho has fifteen active and diverse chapters across our beautiful state. We encourage you to find a local chapter where you can attend a meeting and find help with the application process. Through DAR membership you will be joining almost 200,000 women across the United States (and beyond) in friendship and service.
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you find the information useful as you pursue your own DAR story.
