The
National Society Daughters of the American Revolution 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.
Located
at 1776 Pennsylvania Avenue, the headquarters encompasses
an entire downtown city block, and houses one of the nation's premier
genealogical libraries, one of the foremost collections of
pre-industrial American decorative arts, Washington's largest concert
hall, and an extensive collection of early American manuscripts and
imprints.
The
Fort Payne Chapter, located in Naperville, Illinois, is composed of
volunteers who staff committees to support its local activities and
through this work support the goals and projects of the National
Society, its President General and its Executive Committee of eleven
officers.
Currently seven members of the Fort Payne Chapter are honored as fifty
year members. |
