Our Motto
Do you know your American
roots and your family's role in America's history?
Do you have an ancestor who fought in or supported the American
Revolution?
Do you want to make a difference in your community and help to preserve
America's heritage?
Our Focus
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.
Welcome!
Welcome to the electronic home of the Geneseo Chapter and its
members, honored to be an active part of the National Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolution and the Illinois State
Organization Daughters of the American Revolution. Our chapter has
thrived in the Geneseo area for more than one hundred and ten years.
Take
your time looking through our web site and get to know us. We're a
committed group of women who steadfastly support the National Society
themes through our work in community and education, in historic
preservation, in genealogical research, in veteran services, in
observing patriotic anniversaries, and in upholding those principles of
freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which our American patriot
ancestors sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
We welcome
you to visit us at one of our meetings, normally held on the second
Saturday of the month between September and May, or at local community
gatherings, such as Veterans Day or Memorial Day. Our Daughters also
participate in special events throughout the year - check our program
calendar or request information by sending us an email.
You
can learn more about becoming a member here.
Any woman 18 years or older - regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background - who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership. We invite you to visit a chapter meeting to experience Geneseo's Daughters' welcoming hospitality.
