Culper Ring Agent 355 Chapter, NSDAR

Chicago, Illinois

Chapter Daughters

The Culper Ring Agent 355 Chapter, NSDAR, was organized on April 12, 2014, in Chicago as a chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. We are a group of women focused on community service efforts in supporting historic preservation, education, and patriotism. We celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion in our chapter, and recognize that patriotism can take many forms. The chapter meets once per month on Saturday mornings during September through June.
