welcome you to South Carolina!
The South Carolina Society of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution
has been active since 1891. Since the beginning, daughters have worked to serve God, Home, and Country and promote
the objectives of the DAR.
Today, there are 73 chapters with approximately 4,000 members participating
in the volunteer projects of the SCDAR. South Carolina Daughters participate in naturalization ceremonies, flag presentation
and flag programs, literacy programs, schools events with Junior American Citizen clubs and contests, and give ROTC, DAR Good
Citizens and Good Citizenship Medals. They plant trees, shrubs and flowers for the environment. They recycle. They conduct
American History Contests and give American History Teacher Awards. They give scholarships. They place historical markers
honoring people, buildings, and sites which remind us of our ancestors who fought for the freedoms we now enjoy.
The project closest to the heart of South Carolina Daughters, who rallied to the need of the mountain children of South
Carolina in 1919, is
Tamassee DAR School. Support, both financial and physical, is given lovingly by the South Carolina Daughters. The South Carolina Daughters maintain
the oldest building on campus, the Grace Ward Calhoun Cottage.
