Who We Are
​
The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) is a non-profit, non-political, volunteer women’s service organization comprised of more than 3,000 chapters. Since its inception in 1890, the NSDAR has admitted more than 1,000,000 members.
The National Pike Chapter, NSDAR, was founded in February of 1973, in Washington, Pennsylvania. The chapter was named in honor of the National Pike, the first highway to be constructed with federal funds. As the first National Highway, with the first-ever congressional funding for a U.S. road, the highway grew with the nation. The National Pike became the basic route of U.S. 40, a major link in the land of the transportation chain.
​
Chapter meetings are on the second Monday of each month. For more information please contact us.
