Daughters of the American Revolution

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is a group of women who work to honor and remember important people and events from American history. They focus especially on the people who fought to make America what it is today.

Think of it like a club for women who love America and want to learn more about its history. They have meetings and events where they talk about important people like George Washington and Betsy Ross, who made the first American flag. They also work to support good causes, like helping veterans and preserving historic places.

The DAR was started a long time ago, in 1890. That was when many people were interested in learning more about American history, especially the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. The DAR's goal was to help families remember their ancestors who fought in the war and honor them for their bravery. Today, the organization is still around and still doing good work for America.
