The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism. Its members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutio

Founded in November of 1939, the Patience Wright Chapter is one of the oldest DAR chapters in Orange County. We have a dynamic group of women working to make a difference in our community by sponsoring welcome home gifts for wounded warriors, encouraging good citizenship for elementary school students, and rewarding the study of American history in middle school and high school students. Chapter meetings are held on the 3rd Saturday of each month, September through May. About Our Patriot, Patience Wright

Patience Wright was a spy for the cause, sending information overheard from her subjects on how the British were preparing for the war to America inside her wax figures. When Wright had visitors while sculpting Patriot sympathizers, she would hide the bust underneath her apron and try to distract her visitor by engaging in conversation, so that nobody who might inform the King would know.
