About Our Chapter
The National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution was organized on October 11, 1890, in Washington, D.C. Eighteen women became charter members of the society whose sole purpose was to perpetuate the memory of Patriots, whose courage and zeal helped this country achieve its independence during the Revolutionary War.
In 1895 the society was organized in Minnesota with three chapters in Saint Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. Through the years more chapters have been developed throughout other cities. Currently, there are 21 chapters in Minnesota.
The Wenonah Chapter, NSDAR, members are mothers, grandmothers, schoolteachers, nurses, businesswomen and more. Our common thread is that we support the National Society’s motto of “God, Home, and Country”, by preserving our country’s history through historic preservation, patriotic endeavors, and better education for our children.
We Promote Historic Preservation, Patriotism and Education
Our chapter supports national and state historic preservation projects as well as supports our community in the preservation of historical artifacts.
Our chapter supports national and state patriotism projects as well as supports our local veterans and hosts celebratory events such as the Fourth of July and Veterans Day.
Our chapter supports national and state education projects as well as works with our community through our projects to support education via scholarships and educational events.
We Make a Difference in Our Communities
As a new chapter, we are excited to be making plans for our future investment of time and resources in local community historic preservation projects.
We are looking at various programs and projects to determine how we can best support our local veterans and active-duty service personnel.
We are implementing plans to encourage our local schools to become involved in the DAR essay contests and DAR Good Citizens awards.
