Tennessee Society,

NSDAR

The Tennessee Society DAR focuses on working towards our goals of historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Our members document, restore, and mark Revolutionary War Patriot gravesites and help maintain cemeteries across the state. Educating our youth is a priority, and we support students through scholarships, essay contests, and awards. We show our patriotic spirit by volunteering many hours to veterans, supporting America’s military through care packages, and participating in naturalization ceremonies.

These are just a few of the ways that engage in our communities. I encourage you to see what your local chapters are doing and join us as put our volunteer hearts in action!
