About the Virginia Daughters ChapterDuring the Revolutionary War, Virginia was the most highly populated
of the 13 Colonies. Many Virginians gained fame during the Revolutionary War and were also
prominent in the
framing and signing of the U.S. Constitution. Four of the first five U.S. Presidents were Virginians. As the Virginians trekked
westward after this period, many went to Tennessee, Kentucky, and then to Missouri. They
brought with them the great pride of their Virginia heroes. Such was the case in the area of
Missouri where Albany is located. It seemed only fitting that the new chapter of DAR, which
was organized in Albany, Missouri, on December 5, 1912, be named the Virginia Daughters,
since so many of the Patriots of the new DAR Daughters served in Virginia.
 Virginia Daughters enjoy MSSDAR State Conference. Our chapter meets on the second Monday of the months of September through May at
1:30 p.m. and enjoys programs of patriotic, educational, and historic value. Please
contact us if you are interested in joining DAR and would like to attend one
of our meetings.
