There are more than 100 chapters in Illinois. Perhaps one of them is a closer fit for you. Take a look.

Several years ago, the Edwardsville Chapter NSDAR took on the project of placing our nation's flag around the community. Today those flags are still flying on patriotic holidays

Edwardsville is home to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, many small and large businesses. Edwardsville also played an important role in our state's history. It is a great place to live and play.

The Edwardsville Chapter NSDAR sponsors a local Children of the American Revolution society.
