Knickerbocker Chapter, NSDAR

The NYC Knickerbocker Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of American Revolution was re-organized in November 2004 by 19 charter members. We are now more than 125 members strong and we reflect the cultural diversity in NYC-women from different professional, economic, religious, race, sexual orientation and geographical backgrounds. We welcome all females who are over the age of 18 and who have a Revolutionary Ancestor.

The Chapter is named after a Knickerbocker which means "native or inhabitant of the city or state of New York." It is also the pseudonym under which Washington Irving wrote History of New York, a book about active American writers in the early 19th century.

Our Chapter is dedicated to promoting the national DAR goals of Historic Preservation, Education, and Patriotism. Chapter meetings are held on the first Thursday evening of each month, September through June. Prospective members are always welcomed. For meeting or event information, please contact us at regent@knickerbockerdar.org. We would love to have you join us.
