devoted to historic preservation, education, and patriotic endeavor. Each member
is a lineal descendant of a patriot who gave aid or served as a soldier in the Revolutionary
War. The National Society DAR has

The Alexander Doniphan Chapter meets monthly.
A program reflecting the DAR ideals of patriotism, education, and historical preservation is
given at each meeting as well as women's issues and conservation. Among our
interesting programs have been: "World War II Prison Camps in Missouri" by Jim Beckner"; "Meet
Mr. Franklin" by Paul Forbes; "George Washington--Patriot, Soldier, Statesman" by Dr. Chris
Sizemore; "Urban Tree Benefits" by Charles Conner, Urban Forester, Missouri Department of
Conservation; and "Union Station Massacre" by Robert Unger, Reporter, Journalist, Pulitzer
Prize Winner.
Our chapter has sponsored Junior American Citizen Clubs in
the elementary schools of Liberty, Missouri, essay contests on historical subjects for
elementary and junior high school students, and the Good Citizen Award to seniors in high
schools. Members volunteer and are on the Board of the Clay County Archives.
Our chapter continues to observe Flag Day, Constitution Week, and celebrates
Veteran's Day and George Washington's birthday in conjunction with the local chapters of the
Sons of the American Revolution. Please
contact us if you are interested in joining DAR and would like to attend one of our
meetings. We will be happy to assist you research your Patriot.
