Oregon Trail Chapter, NSDAR Our mission is to promote
Historic Preservation, Education, and Patriotism
through Community Service

DAR members are women who come from diverse backgrounds and have a variety of interests. Our common bond is our lineal descent from patriots of the American Revolution. Any woman, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background who can prove this lineage is eligible to join. Most of our Daughters live in East Portland, the greater Gresham-Troutdale area, Sandy, or East Multnomah and Clackamas counties. We are women who…

-- care about fostering good citizenship
-- want to honor our ancestors
-- are devoted to educating our youth
-- want to preserve our past for future generations

Many of us enjoy...

-- learning about American history
-- researching genealogy
-- coordinating local community service projects
-- sharing in family DAR traditions
-- participating in commemorative events

Given DAR’s purpose to perpetuate the legacy of all the men and women who achieved independence, DAR has a decided role to play in researching and promoting how diversified participants assisted in the creation of our nation.

Happy Birthday, DAR, founded October 11, 1890. https://www.dar.org/national-society/about-dar/dar-history/founding-dar , now celebrated each year as a day of service.

Admission to our chapter is by invitation from the Oregon Trail Chapter NSDAR. Documentation must be provided for each statement of birth, death, and marriage in the applicant's lineage to her patriotic ancestor. This includes the applicant's birth certificate naming her parents. The completed documentation can take many forms, such as census records, certificates, town records, or church records.
