Blue Springs Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution

The Blue Springs Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) was organized on April 16, 1976 and has grown from a small group of fourteen patriotic women to sixty-eight in 2022. We are a diverse group of women who meet the NSDAR eligibility requirements (ages 18+), from all walks of life, who share a common bond of heritage with a proven ancestor who served or aided the American cause during the American Revolutionary War, as well as share a desire to hold on to many of the core values and traditions upon which this country was founded. The National motto is God, Home, and Country.

Our membership is growing substantially as more and more women are becoming interested in learning more about their American heritage, and want to become a part of our phenomenal organization.

In addition to its extensive genealogy resources, the DAR is also recognized as a service organization. Locally, we offer an annual essay and scholarship contest to local senior high school Good Citizens, sponsor student American History essay contests for students in 5th through 8th grade, work with women’s shelters, donate comfort items to the Kansas City Veteran Hospital, and support active military personnel. We honor veterans and sponsor special commemorative events in our history as well as participate in various projects at the local, state, and national level. We encourage community involvement and promote literacy, good citizenship, conservation, and recognition of outstanding individuals who are making a difference within our community.

The women of today's DAR come from different backgrounds but share a common dedication to America.
