The DAR is a service organization made up of approximately 200,000 members with over 3,000 chapters. These chapters are located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Australia, Canada, France, Mexico, Japan and the United Kingdom.
On October 11, 1890, 18 women met officially to organize the NSDAR for historic, educational, and patriotic purposes, and it is now in its second century of service to the nation. Over 760,000 members have been admitted to membership since 1890. Through the years these members have represented a wide spectrum of vocations. In the early days of the organization, the members stated that "We want a Society founded on service." This emphasis continues today.
Its National Headquarters occupies an entire city block near the White House and is the largest group of buildings in the world owned and maintained exclusively by women.
