Welcome

Welcome to the Birmingham Territory Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, a group of patriotic, caring women in the greater Birmingham, Alabama area dedicated to activities that promote our country’s history and heritage. We are a nonpartisan group of women who have traced their lineage to men and women patriots who served in or provided aid to the Revolutionary War. Chapter members support the three objectives of the National Society DAR: historic preservation, promotion of education and patriotic endeavor. The more than 80 chapter members include juniors (ages 18 to 35), mothers, daughters, sisters and friends who span the generations. The group meets for lunch on the second Tuesday of the month from September through May for project updates and interesting programs featuring history, education, conservation, national defense and women’s issues. We welcome new members and provide help to those interested in tracing their descent from patriots of the American Revolution.

What a way to start off the New Year with our amazing January speaker! Ruth Cook is the author of "Guests Behind the Barbed Wire, German POW's in America: A True Story of Hope and Friendship." 6,000 German POW's were housed in Aliceville, Alabama during WW II. From 1942-1945, Camp Aliceville operated as one of the largest POW camps in America. This story showed the relationship between the prisoners and the communities around the camp. Ms.Cook has written several books on Alabama and had them for sale at the meeting.

Great luncheon learning the history of our US Constitution.  Did you know that ours is the oldest, codified, still in use, Constitution in the world?


Congratulations to Ann Halpern for having the closest guess of the number of honeycombs in the jar!
