Welcome to Today’s Isabella Weldin Chapter!

The Isabella Weldin Chapter is located in Augusta, Kansas about 20 miles east of Wichita, Kansas. Our chapter was organized on June 14, 1929, and has been serving our community, state, and the nation for over 90 years.

We are part of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR), a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America’s future through better education for children.

We are excited to share information with anyone interested in DAR. We enjoy our volunteer activities and are proud to make a difference in the lives of our community, state, and country. We strive to honor our revolutionary ancestors and support our armed forces, veterans and schools.

Historic Preservation

Our chapter’s historic preservation projects include active conservation efforts with the Augusta Historical Museum and Elmwood Cemetery to preserve artifacts, historical documents and grave markers.

Education

Our chapter’s educational projects support students and educators through programs, such as Constitution Week, the Junior American Citizen contest and the DAR Good Citizen contest. We donate new books to local libraries and school supplies to those in need. We also focus on member development through the DAR Members, New Horizons and Committee Leadership courses, as well as courses for genealogy skills.

Patriotism

Our chapter’s patriotic projects include recognizing patriots in our community, supporting our armed forces members through care packages and letters. We honor our living and deceased veterans by helping organize events such as the Veteran’s Day parade and Wreaths Across America.
