"God, Home and Country"

Replica
A replica of Fort Payne as it was constructed in 1832.

The Fort Payne Chapter of the National Society of Daughters of The American Revolution is one of the over one hundred Illinois chapters, and is located in Naperville, Illinois.
            
The chapter supports the nation’s men and women in the armed forces through participation in patriotic programs.
           
Participation by the chapter in the National DAR essay contest provides 5th through 8th grade students of the community opportunities for growth and development as future citizens.
            
The chapter holds oral essay contests for students of the seventh and eighth grades of the schools,  permitting these students to enhance their leadership qualities for these future leaders of  our country.
           
With participation from each local high school each year, the chapter recognizes one student from each school as a DAR Good Citizen winner.

            
The chapter preserves local landmarks of historical significance.  In 2008, a new marker dedication ceremony was held at the site of a local church to honor the memory of Revolutionary War patriot, Israel Putnam Warner; his daughter, Esther Warner Kenyon (a DAR “First Daughter”); son-in-law; and grandsons.
