William Boydston Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution

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

Chapter meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month, September through May at 7:00 p.m. Light refreshments are served. In June the meeting includes a salad supper beginning at 6:00 p.m. Throughout the year, programs reflecting the DAR ideals of patriotism, education and historical preservation as well as women's issues and conservation are given. Among the interesting programs drawn from the expertise found in the Greater Kansas City area are "Tussie Mussies: the Language of Flowers"; "Frontier Trails Museum"; "Doll Collecting"; "How Weather Affected the Founding of Our Country"; "Hospice 101"; and "Harry Truman" .
