Welcome to the Carrollton Chapter

About the DAR
Each member of the DAR is a lineal descendant of a patriot who gave aid or
was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. The National Society DAR has a
summary of facts
and information about joining DAR.
Further information about DAR may be found at the National Society DAR web site and the
Missouri State Society DAR web site.
In their honor, we have included a PDF file of our Patriots. Without their sacrifices, we would not enjoy the many freedoms
we have today in the United States of America. You must have Adobe Reader on your computer to view this PDF file which can be
downloaded for free.
Our town and county was named after Charles Carroll (September 19, 1737-November 14, 1832). He was a lawyer and politician from Maryland who was a delegate to the Continental Congress and later a United States Senator. He was the last surviving and only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. When our DAR chapter was organized February 15, 1908, with a membership of 29, our charter members chose to name the chapter in honor of our town and county where most of them had been born.
Throughout our chapter's history, we have been devoted to community service. We provide Good Citizenship medals to area
students; donate to DAR schools and veterans; inscribe local cemeteries; and promote civic responsibility for historical structures in our
community. Members also participate in state events including the Flag Day celebration at Roslyn Heights, the Missouri State DAR
Headquarters in Boonville, Missouri, the Roslyn Heights Christmas celebration, and the MSSDAR State Convention.
Our chapter meets on the third Thursday of September, October, November and April, May, June at 12:30 p.m. for a luncheon meeting.
