Ottawa Chapter, Port Huron, MI - Daughters of the American Revolution, DAR Disclaimer: The content contained herein does not necessarily represent the position of the NSDAR. The new chapter used the Ottawa name which means "to trade."

The Daughters of the American Revolution is a lineage society whose members share a love of country and a rich heritage. We are each a lineal descendant of a patriot who gave aid or was a soldier in the American Revolutionary War that paved the way for the freedoms we enjoy today. The original Ottawawa Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was organized in August 1906 with sixteen members. The name Ottawawa was chosen for many reasons, one being to honor the spirit of the Native Americans who originally lived in this area. In their language, Ottawawa means “Huron Waters.” Their fifty-five years in existence, the Ottawawa Chapter did many things to further the work of the DAR. The Ottawa Chapter as we know if today became the successor to Ottawawa on June 9, 1977, with fifteen organizing members. The Ottawa Chapter meets every month in Port Huron, Michigan. We are dedicated to preserving American history, securing America's future through better education, and promoting patriotism, all while having fun! If you think that you may have an ancestor who is a patriot of the American Revolution or your are just getting started with your research, please contact us. We can help you with your research! If you are interested in becoming a member and would like to come to a meeting, please send us a message.

September 11th to October 11th , 2026 was designated as a “Month of Service” in commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of 9/11. But Michigan Daughters have stepped up into service not just this one month, but throughout the year. Service has included small things, like writing cards to service members . volunteering at large events, and many more activities in-between. Enjoy these photographic memories as we remember our commitment to service and celebrate DAR of Michigan Daughters. What will DAR of Michigan do this next year? What will your chapter do? What will you do in Service to America?

Beautifully written by Lauren L. Martel
Our country was shaped by ordinary people who were willing to serve something larger than themselves.

Sometimes that service is visible and sometimes it happens quietly, without much recognition at all. Today thousands of women across America will pause to pray, reflect, and give thanks for their families, their communities, and their country.

The date is special to our organization ... on October 11, 1890, eighteen women gathered in Washington, D.C., to formally organize the Daughters of the American Revolution. They believed that remembering the past ought to lead to something more than remembrance. It should lead to service! 🇺🇸

More than 135 years later, Daughters across the country continue that tradition by setting aside the Sunday closest to October 11 for prayer, meditation, thanksgiving, and reflection. It is a chance to step away from the noise for a little while, remember those who came before us, give thanks for the people and places we call home, and seek wisdom for the work that still lies ahead.

Prayer doesn't have to look exactly the same for everybody. For some, it may mean prayer within their own faith tradition. For others, it may mean quiet meditation, reflection, or simply sitting still for a few minutes with a grateful heart. We may come from different traditions and backgrounds, but there is something wonderfully human about taking a little time to consider what we have been given and what we might give in return.

So on October 11, Daughters across America will pause together. Perhaps you will, too. Take a little time to remember, to give thanks, to seek guidance, and to consider how you might serve those around you. In a world that seems to move faster by the day, a few quiet moments spent in reflection can be a mighty fine place to begin.

God. Home. Country. 🇺🇸

As we count down to the National DAR Day of Service tomorrow, we want to see our DAR members across the country sharing and celebrating how they are giving back to their communities!

Be sure to use so members everywhere can discover, celebrate and be inspired by the incredible volunteer work happening. Serve. Share. Inspire.
