Welcome
Welcome to the online home of the Abraham Lincoln Chapter, National Society Daughters
of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR). We are so glad you found us and hope that
you enjoy your visit.
Chances are you arrived here because you are interested in joining
the Daughters of the American Revolution. We are currently the only
chapter in
Logan County, Illinois. Chapter members live in many surrounding
communities and
our meetings are held at various locations. Membership in the DAR is
very rewarding as we foster the ideals of our National Society of
patriotism, historic preservation, and education. We participate in
many worthwhile activities and for more than 110 years have kept the
spirit of our American Revolutionary War ancestors alive.
Your male or
female ancestor did not have to serve as a soldier during that time,
but may have supported the cause in other ways, such as contributing
food or ammunition, signing a petition, or serving as a community
leader. Contact us to
attend a chapter
meeting. You can learn more about becoming a member here.
DAR offers many opportunities for service, such as working with youth,
encouraging members to get involved in their communities, to assist
with historic preservation and patriotic events, and promoting the
preservation of our family and local histories. It is a way to work
with others to make America a better place to live. Please take a
look around our website and if you think you are eligible, are
interested in joining, or wish to visit our chapter, please contact
us.
