DAR…a place to serve!
Our Mission: Historic Preservation, Education and Patriotism
To accomplish our mission, DAR members work diligently to preserve the rich history of our country, award over $150,000 in scholarships and financial aid each year to students and support schools for the underprivileged with annual donations exceeding one million dollars. Members volunteer more than 60,000 hours annually to veteran patients and develop programs to support our active duty military.
DAR has members in 3,000 chapters across the United States and internationally. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a Patriot of the American Revolutionary War, is eligible for membership. The celebration of America’s 250th birthday is the perfect time to find YOUR Patriot ancestor and join us in our mission!

DAR…vibrant service in Kansas!
Kansas Society DAR (KSDAR) is comprised of a group of active women of all ages, from all walks of life, who cherish their heritage and enthusiastically support the mission of DAR through state, chapter, and individual activities.
The Bullock Administration theme is Serving in Harmony: harmony with each other, harmony with our history and harmony with our land. In recognition of our Patriot ancestors who, against all odds, achieved American independence together, the Harmony administration chose the Kansas State Flower as its symbol. The sunflower, declared a noxious weed in 1895, ultimately became the symbol of the people of Kansas in 1903. The sunflower blooms from border to border of our beautiful State and typifies the tenacity, diversity and beauty of Kansans throughout our history.
The guiding scripture for KSDAR 2025-2028 is Romans 12:18:
“If possible, to the best of your ability, live in harmony with one another.”
DAR in Kansas has worked to help preserve its fascinating history since our founding in 1896. Some of our projects are featured on the Historic Preservation page.
