The October meeting was a TREAT! Thank you to John Gillum for teaching us about the Aliceville WWII Prisoner of War Museum and to all our Members that helped stuff goodie bags for the Ronald McDonald House.

 

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.
