What is the DAR?
The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) is a non-profit, non-political women’s service organization that has members across the United States and internationally.
Daughters are proud of their rich heritage and work hard to make a difference in their community through grassroots efforts. Volunteers work to promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism.
The Issaqueena Chapter, NSDAR, is located in Greenwood County, South Carolina, where two battles were fought in the American Revolutionary War. Organized in April 2023, the chapter is part of the larger NSDAR and the South Carolina State Society Daughters of the American Revolution (SCDAR).
The chapter is named in honor of Issaqueena, a brave American Indian who is recognized as a Patriot by the NSDAR and the SCDAR because of her heroic ride to warn settlers of a Cherokee attack.
Our chapter has a diverse group of women who enjoy exploring and documenting the lives of ancestors who helped shape American history. We meet once a month in the early evenings, which makes it so much easier for our working professionals to attend!
