“The Shallow Ford” — watercolor on paper by Rick Jones
Welcome!
We are delighted that you would like to learn about the Battle of Shallow Ford 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 American history essays.
Each member is a direct descendant of a Patriot of the American Revolutionary War.
The members of the Battle of Shallow Ford Chapter, NSDAR, present programs on Constitution Week at local schools.
The chapter supports the 1788 Gemeinhaus, the last eighteenth-century German church with attached living quarters remaining in the United States. The church is furnished with period furniture, some original to the building. The Gemeinhaus is located in Historic Bethabara Park.
