​​Today's DAR
Our celebratory lunch in August 2022 for the new Middletown Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR), was attended by Mayor Tony Perry, Assemblyman Gerry Scharfenberger,
 New Jersey State Society Daughters of the American Revolution state regent, honorary state regent and other officers.
The Middletown Chapter, NSDAR, received a proclamation from the New Jersey state assembly for which we are extremely proud.
It was a great success and on behalf of the Middletown Chapter, NSDAR, thank you to all that came to the luncheon to support us.

Who are the Middletown Chapter, NSDAR, Daughters

A newly formed chapter of the DAR, we are a vibrant group of women with a passion for serving the community, especially our veterans, and preserving history. Members of the Middletown 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.

​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.

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. Learn more about how DAR members support historic preservation.

Become a Member

The members of the Middletown Chapter, NSDAR, welcome you to attend our meetings whether you are a visitor or a prospective member.
Thank you to all our volunteers who have helped clean the graves of American Revolutionary Patriots. Members and volunteers clear vast amounts of brush, discovering fallen headstones under fallen trees that had never been photographed. It is the driving force of the Middletown Chapter, NSDAR, to find and mark the graves of America's Patriots.
