God, Home & Country
 Welcome to the Niagara Falls Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Our chapter is located in beautiful Niagara Falls, New York, and recognizes the historical significance of the natural wonder of Niagara Falls. The Niagara Falls Chapter, DAR, was organized by Mrs. Frank A. Dudley on April 4, 1922. Monthly meetings take place at various locations in Niagara County. By promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism, our meetings reflect the work of the National Society. We currently have 77 members who enjoy sharing the benefits of DAR membership, recognizing that we have a responsibility to ensure that the freedoms won by our ancestors are appreciated by Americans of today and tomorrow.
The Niagara Falls Chapter, DAR, meets on the first Saturday of each month except January, July, and August. Many members attend virtually every meeting, while others find that work and family commitments take precedence. Many members give countless hours of volunteer time to various causes. If you have the interest to serve on a particular committee, that support is welcome. If you prefer to become active at a later time, that is completely acceptable too. If you live in or near Niagara County we would love to hear from you. We are always excited to have new members. To join our chapter, please e-mail us at, naj70@hughes.net
