Founded in 1890, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) is committed to preserving the memory and spirit of those who contributed to American independence.
The four women who founded the DAR helped to form the DAR’s lasting mission of promoting three key areas of historic preservation, education and patriotism.
We are a nonprofit, nonpolitical women’s service organization.
Our chapter, named for spymaster Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge, was re-organized in the Bronx, New York, in 2016.

→ Service to Our Community
Share your talents and creativity to improve your community, from the Bronx and beyond! Being a Daughter means being a member of a volunteer women’s service organization of over one million members since its founding in 1890.
→ Friendship
Daughters come from all walks of life and range from 18 years of age and beyond. Lifelong and intergenerational friendships abound with many shared interests, including service to our communities, history, genealogy, education and patriotism!
→ Leadership Development
We look to the pioneering leadership of our Founders Mary Desha, Eugenia Washington, Ellen Hardin Walworth and Mary Smith Lockwood, and continue to exemplify female leadership through our work in historic preservation, education and patriotism.
