To perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women
who achieved American Independence; to promote the development of an enlightened public
opinion; and to foster patriotic citizenship--these are the objects of our society, Daughters of
the American Revolution.
Each member of the DAR is a lineal descendant of a patriot who gave aid or served as a soldier
in the Revolutionary War. The National Society DAR has
facts about DAR and
information about joining DAR. Further information about DAR is available at:
National Society DAR and Missouri State Society DAR
Bowling Green Chapter meetings are held the fourth Thursday of September through May with the
exception of the November and December meetings which are held on the third Thursday of the month. The
February meeting is always a celebration of George Washington's birthday on the 22nd.
Each of our meetings includes a program of patriotic, educational, or historical interest as well as conservation or women's issues.
Topics such as "Living Green"; "Life of a Civil War Soldier"; "Political Cartoons"; and "Slavery in Pike and Ralls Counties"
have been of special interest to members. Please
contact us if you are interested in joining DAR and would like to attend one of our meetings.
Guests are welcome. We will be happy to assist you research your Patriot.
The plaque upon the Tomb of the Unknown
Revolutionary War Soldier in Philadelphia
reads:
"Beneath this stone rests a soldier of Washington's
army who died to give you liberty."
