Welcome
We are delighted that you would like to learn about the Halifax Convention Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR). Furthermore, we are always honored to share information with those who are interested in the DAR, and we continually look for new opportunities to promote DAR objectives within our local community. Our members are committed to promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism. We enjoy our volunteer activities and are proud to make a difference in the lives of our community, state, and country.
In addition to our regular meetings, our chapter sponsors educational awards and scholarships. We support Crossnore Communities for Children and volunteer with our veterans. We honor our American Revolutionary War ancestors, recognize outstanding citizens in our area, and sponsor history essays.
Each member is a direct descendant of a Patriot of the American Revolutionary War.
Our chapter participates in the Veterans Day Parade and always enjoys cheering for the parade’s Grand Marshal Retired Colonel Quincy Collins.
Chapter programs include field trips to local historical sites and a history-filled trip every other year where members can learn about our city and country’s history.
Members enjoy supporting Charlotte schools in a variety of ways including providing presentations on local revolutionary history to fourth-grade students.
