The President General is the official spokesperson for the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was organized and incorporated in 1890 by four strong, patriotic women who sought to honor their Patriot roots, preserve our cultural heritage, and enhance educational opportunities. With Kentuckian Mary Desha (1850-1911) as one of
the four founders of DAR, the state’s ties to the society were strong. By 1896, Kentucky had more than 10 chapters. The Daughters met in Estill Springs, Kentucky, in 1896 and established the Kentucky Society of the DAR. In 1940, a dilapidated building in Paris, Kentucky, the Duncan Tavern, was purchased by the Jemima Johnson Chapter, NSDAR, for one dollar, with the stipulation that the 1790s structure would be renovated, refurbished, and ready for use within one year, which would include creating a museum, the John Fox, Jr. When the restoration was complete per the contract, the building was turned over to Kentucky State Society, NSDAR.
