Welcome to Mary Fell Stevenson DAR Chapter
I am honored to serve as the Mary Fell Stevenson Chapter, NSDAR, regent. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) is a non-profit, non-political women's volunteer service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history and securing America's future through education. Our members can trace their bloodline lineage to a Patriot in the American Revolutionary War, and our volunteer service to our local community is how we honor our ancestors’ spirit and sacrifice.
