The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR), founded in 1890, and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a nonprofit, nonpolitical volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children.
In Illinois, our Looking Glass Prairie Chapter NSDAR members come from several nearby towns. We are an enthusiastic group comprised of ladies of all ages, backgrounds, and talents. Our members are active in all aspects of their communities. We take part in various activities and events that preserve our treasured history and promote it to today's youth. Whether individually, or as a group, our chapter works diligently to achieve the three objectives of our National Society - historic preservation, education, and patriotism. By participating in today's events, we work to prepare ourselves and others for the world of tomorrow. We are an organization that cares about our country's past, present, and future.
Our chapter name harkens back to simpler times when the O'Fallon, Illinois area was prairie. British novelist Charles Dickens coined the term 'looking glass' as he was viewing the surrounding area in a horse-drawn covered wagon. The chapter was organized April 17, 2010.
O'Fallon was founded in 1854. O'Fallon and the Village of Shiloh are known as two of the fastest-growing communities in the Metropolitan St. Louis area, yet both maintain their small-town appeal. O'Fallon offers close proximity to nearby Scott Air Force Base and easy access to St. Louis. We hope you will consider joining us.
