Sophie de Marsac Campau Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution

Serving the Grand Rapids metro area since 1896. The content contained herein does not necessarily represent the position of the NSDAR.

Links to other sites are not the responsibility of the NSDAR, the state organizations, or DAR chapters. Our chapter is named for Sophie de Marsac Campau, wife of Louis Campau, a founder of Grand Rapids. By naming it for her, our chapter's founders perpetuated the name of a woman who was held in high esteem by the early European settlers in this area. Chartered in 1896, our chapter is one of the oldest in the U.S., and the second oldest in Michigan. The DAR, founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children. As one of the most inclusive genealogical societies in the country, DAR boasts 190,000 members in 3,000 chapters across the United States and internationally. Any woman 18 years or older--regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background--who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership.
