The Exeter Chapter, New Hampshire, of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) welcomes you!  Since 1897, our dynamic chapter has been working on the three NSDAR mission areas:

  • Historic Preservation
  • Education
  • Patriotism

We are over 65 members strong and meet monthly in Exeter to work on projects relating to the above list, and so much more. Being based in Exeter, New Hampshire (which was the State Capital during the Revolutionary War) provides us with ample opportunities toward the NSDAR mission. We email a monthly newsletter that details our upcoming projects and how you can get involved.

We welcome you to explore membership with us if you have an ancestor who served or assisted in the Revolutionary War. The Exeter Chapter, NH, NSDAR serves the communities of Exeter, Brentwood, Newfields, Newmarket, Epping, Kensington and Kingston, New Hampshire. Members also hail from additional towns of seacoast New Hampshire and neighboring states. Please use this membership link to begin the process of becoming a member of our chapter.

As a non-profit, non-political, volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism, Exeter Chapter NSDAR members serve their communities in many ways. The chapter and its members support area historical societies and museums with time, talents, and financial donations. Members support literacy programs for children and adults, as well as sponsor history essay contests and DAR Good Citizens awards. We assist New Hampshire veterans' facilities with donations of personal care items, clothing, food, and financial support. We aid active-duty military through DAR Project Patriot with care items, phone cards, and services for the gravely wounded. We honor our families' roles in American history through our membership and service. And we are looking forward to celebrating the 250th birthday (in 2026) of America with patriotic fanfare!

Please contact our Chapter Regent for more information on meetings, membership and more!
