Who We Are

The New Jersey State Society DAR is an organization within the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.

The work of the society is carried out by our officers, committees, chapters, and members who volunteer in their local communities and throughout the state.

We are a non-profit, non-political, volunteer women’s service organization that honors and supports our veterans, educators, students, local community volunteers, and groups involved in historic preservation.

Our society is passionate about genealogy and tracing links to our ancestors through research. Members share the bond of having an ancestor who helped contribute to securing the independence of the United States of America. Learn more about DAR members. We are eager to assist you on your way to membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution.
