ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA
The Arlington House Chapter (AHC) of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is chartered in Arlington County, in Northern Virginia. Most, but not all, of our 100 members live in the greater Washington DC metropolitan area.
Our Organizing Regent, Mrs. Anne Holle (1907-2002), chose the name for our Chapter to reflect the heritage of the beautiful mansion in Arlington National Cemetery. Arlington House was built between 1802 and 1818 by George Washington Parke Custis, the grandson of Martha Washington and the adopted son of George Washington. The estate, now managed by the National Park Service, continues to symbolize the unique style of our DAR Chapter in which the traditions of family, education, honor to God and country are the foundations of American beliefs that we all hold sacred. (For more about this historic property, please click here: http://www.nps.gov/arho/index.htm.)
Are You Interested in Joining Us? The DAR is open to all women aged 18 or older of any race, religion, or ethnicity, who directly descend from a patriot of the American Revolution. For more details about membership requirements, please visit the NSDAR website at www.dar.org or the DAR membership page at http://www.dar.org/natsociety/become_member.cfm.
Arlington House Chapter meetings are regularly held on the second Wednesday of each month from September through May. Meetings normally begin at 7:00 PM with light refreshments and a brief social period; Chapter business commences at 7:30 PM. The exceptions are our January and February meetings, which are generally held on the second Saturdays of those months at 10:00 AM. In addition, we plan an annual field trip for the second Saturday in June. Meeting locations usually alternate between a local community center and a church in Arlington County.
