Our Mission
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., founded in 1890, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) is a nonprofit, non-political women’s volunteer organization dedicated to preserving American history, supporting the education of children nationwide, and inspiring patriotism.
Here in the Canton area, our Canton Chapter NSDAR brings together women from different backgrounds who share a common love for honoring our ancestry. We serve right here in our communities, and we work together to help strengthen our country’s future through education and by keeping American history alive.
We’re a large, active chapter with members of all ages—and we’d genuinely love to meet new friends. If you live in Canton, Green, North Canton, Jackson Township, or nearby and believe you may have an ancestor who served in the American Revolutionary War, we invite you to reach out and learn more about our chapter and the good things we’re doing in the Greater Canton community.
Why I Joined
Cindy
Member since 2018
I remember first learning about my family history during a school project. As I was looking through boxes of old papers I came across my great grandfathers membership certificate to the Sons of the American Revolution. Over the years, I pursued joining DAR a couple of times but life always seemed to get in the way. However, once I met the ladies of the Canton Chapter, NSDAR, I knew that this was the right group and time to join. They were so welcoming and made the application process so simple. The Canton ladies have led fascinating lives, and I am quickly making new friends! I am so thankful I joined!
