These goals are as relevant in today's society as they were when the organization was founded in 1890.

Today, the Captain William Bibb Chapter, NSDAR, and General John Archer Elmore Chapter, SAR, gathered at Pine Grove Cemetery in Alexander City to honor American Revolutionary War Patriot Samuel Townsend and dedicate a marker at his grave.

Born in Virginia in 1755, Townsend served the American cause while living in South Carolina and later made his way to Alabama, settling first in Montgomery County and later in Coosa County.

The occasion was especially meaningful as several of Townsend’s descendants, representing multiple branches of his family, gathered to honor their shared ancestor and his service.

As we commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, we are honored to remember the Patriots whose service helped make that anniversary possible.

When his country called, he served. Generations later, we remember. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Celebrating Constitution Week in Our Community! 🇺🇸

The Captain William Bibb Chapter, NSDAR, had a wonderful week celebrating and sharing the story of the United States Constitution!

The week began at the Elmore County Commission meeting, where DAR chapter regents from across the region gathered to receive a Constitution Week proclamation from the Elmore County Commissioners. Commissioners also received bells to ring at 3 p.m. on September 17, along with copies of the Constitution Week resource packets distributed to area schools. The packets included student activities, lesson plans, and historical resources to help bring the Constitution to life in local classrooms.

We concluded the week at the Pintlala Public Library, where chapter member Michelle Bula led an engaging Constitution Week program for sixth-grade students from Pintlala Elementary School. A special Constitution Week display complemented the program, and two books were donated to the library to encourage continued learning about our nation’s founding document.

From local government to classrooms and our public library, it was a meaningful week of learning about, celebrating, and honoring the Constitution and the rights and responsibilities it represents. 🇺🇸📚🔔

Our chapter got one of these rare behind-the-scenes tours last year, and it was every bit as fascinating as it looks! Such a treat to see how pieces of Alabama history are preserved and cared for.

Members of the Captain William Bibb Chapter, NSDAR, began the DAR Month of Service at the Alabama National Cemetery in Calera on Saturday, September 12, cleaning headstones in honor of our fallen heroes. The project was part of Carry The Load Patriot Day, a national effort to remember military members and first responders who lost their lives in connection with September 11.

DAR Month of Service is a time for Daughters across the country to put our mission into action through service in their communities. It began on September 11, 2026, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and continues through October 11, our annual DAR Day of Service.

Service is the heart of who we are as Daughters of the American Revolution. Through historic preservation, education, and patriotism, we honor the past not simply by remembering it, but by serving our communities today.

🇺🇸 We hold these truths

Members of the Captain William Bibb Chapter, NSDAR, joined fellow Alabamians today at the Alabama State Capitol for a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the rededication of Alabama’s Liberty Bell replica.

In his remarks, Alabama Department of Archives and History Director Steve Murray reminded us that the Declaration did more than announce our nation’s independence, it gave generations of Americans words to claim as their own.

“Over the course of your life, someone you know has at some point needed to say, ‘We claim these truths.’”

As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, hearing the Declaration read aloud reminds us that its ideals have inspired generation after generation to pursue liberty, equality, and the promise of a more perfect union. As Director Murray encouraged, may we each take time during this anniversary year to read the Declaration for ourselves, reflect on its meaning, and consider how its enduring ideals continue to shape our lives and our nation.

The work of preserving that history, and sharing it with those who come after us, is a privilege we are proud to embrace.

🇺🇸 What an inspiring morning!

Members of the Captain William Bibb and Choctaw Chapters, NSDAR were honored to attend a naturalization ceremony on Tuesday at the Frank M. Johnson Jr. U.S. Courthouse Complex in Montgomery.

Twenty-nine individuals from 16 countries took the Oath of Allegiance and officially became citizens of the United States. Presiding over the ceremony, The Honorable Jerusha T. Adams reflected on the significance of welcoming new citizens during the 250th anniversary year of our nation’s founding, a fitting reminder that America’s story continues to grow with each new generation.

The ceremony was made even more memorable by a beautiful performance of the National Anthem from Montgomery’s own Trew the Star, whose powerful voice added to the joy of the occasion.

As Daughters of the American Revolution, we are always honored to celebrate the ideals of citizenship, patriotism, and service. Congratulations to our nation’s 29 newest citizens—we are so glad to welcome you! ❤️🤍💙

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙

Today we celebrate the courage, vision, and sacrifice of those who declared that a new nation could be founded on the ideals of liberty and self-government.

As we continue commemorating America 250, we honor not only the Patriots who secured our independence, but also every generation that has worked to preserve and strengthen the freedoms entrusted to us.

May we celebrate with gratitude, serve our communities with purpose, and continue passing the story of our nation to those who come after us.

What a wonderful America 250! read-aloud at the Pintlala Library today! 🇺🇸📚

Members of the Captain William Bibb Chapter, NSDAR spent the morning reading with a wonderful group of children who gathered to celebrate this special America 250! event.

Alicia Chalker brought her adorable puppy pal, Goldie, who absolutely stole the show! The four-legged listener charmed the children while they enjoyed Cloaked in Courage: Uncovering Deborah Sampson, Revolutionary Soldier by Beth Anderson, the inspiring story of Revolutionary War heroine Deborah Sampson.

After the story, the chapter donated the book to the Pintlala Library so even more young readers can discover Deborah Sampson’s remarkable story. The children also created their own tricorn hats to take home. 🎩✨

It was a delightful and meaningful way to kick off the Independence Day weekend, sharing the stories of America’s founding and inspiring the next generation through history, courage, and imagination. ❤️🤍💙
