Who are the Ferro Monte Daughters

Members of the Ferro Monte Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR), are women a lot like you. Our common bond is our lineal descent from Patriots of the American Revolutionary War. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove this lineage is eligible to join. For more information about membership in this historic and vibrant organization check out Become a Member on the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution ​website. We will be pleased to assist you with the membership process and help you find ways to document your lineage.
​Founded in 1973, the Ledgewood—Succasunna area chapter chose the name Ferro Monte Chapter, NSDAR, to honor the early iron ore miners who worked diligently to provide cannon balls to ​the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. Iron ore was found in abundance in northwestern Morris County, and iron interests have been active since the area's earliest history.

​What We Do

New Jersey Daughters, descendants of ordinary women and men who achieved extraordinary things, share a common bond of ancestry and are proud of their heritage and the role of their ancestors, who risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in establishing our great country. We honor their sacrifices through the volunteer work of our members in the mission areas of DAR.

Patriotism

DAR members volunteer in Veterans Administration (VA) medical centers and non-VA facilities, offer support to America’s active-duty service personnel through care packages, sponsor programs promoting the U.S. Constitution, and participate in naturalization ceremonies. Learn more about how DAR members support patriotism.

Education

​​DAR members are passionate about education through the promotion of the Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.), DAR Good Citizens, and Junior American Citizens. The National Society DAR and New Jersey State Society DAR also provide scholarships and awards to outstanding students, teachers, and members who work tirelessly to support their local schools. Learn more about how DAR members support ​education.

Historic Preservation

DAR members support historic preservation efforts through awards, grants, and contests.
Members participate in various projects to help preserve the cultural heritage of the United States, including preserving documents, buildings, and placing markers at locations of historic significance; most importantly our state house the Isaac Watson House.
