National Society Daughters of the American Revolution

Welcome to the Gallatin Chapter

Gallatin, Missouri





Painting of Albert Gallatin

Albert Gallatin is best remembered for his thirteen year tenure as Secretary of the Treasury during the Jefferson and Madison administrations. In that time he reduced the national debt, purchased the Louisiana Territory (which included Missouri) and funded the Lewis and Clark exploration.

































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.

About the Gallatin Chapter NSDAR

Gallatin, Missouri, is located in Northwest Missouri, 48 miles east of St. Joseph and 65 miles northeast of Kansas City. Gallatin is the seat of Daviess County. The town was named for Albert Gallatin, and when our DAR chapter was organized on November 22, 1913, we chose to name the chapter after our town and its namesake.

Chapter meetings are held on the second Wednesday of September through June at 1:30 p.m. with the exception of several luncheon meetings which are at 12:30 p.m. Throughout the year we have many outstanding programs which reflect the DAR ideals of patriotism, education, and historical preservation.

Please contact us if you are interested in joining DAR and would like to attend one of our meetings.
