Elizabeth Ramsey Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution

Elizabeth Ramsey Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution Elizabeth Ramsey Chapter, NSDAR, was organized on April 18, 1925. Since its founding in 1890, DAR has admitted more than 800,000 members.

We serve members in South,East and Central Wyoming and across the US by promoting the goals of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded on October 11, 1890, during a time that was marked by a revival in patriotism and intense interest in the beginnings of the United States of America. Women felt the desire to e

xpress their patriotic feelings and were frustrated by their exclusion from men's organizations formed to perpetuate the memory of ancestors who fought to make this country free and independent. As a result, a group of pioneering women in the nation's capital formed their own organization and the Daughters of the American Revolution has carried the torch of patriotism ever since. The objectives laid forth in the first meeting of the DAR have remained the same in over 100 years of active service to the nation. Those objectives are: Historical - to perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence; Educational - to carry out the injunction of Washington in his farewell address to the American people, "to promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge, thus developing an enlightened public opinion…"; and Patriotic - to cherish, maintain, and extend the institutions of American freedom, to foster true patriotism and love of country, and to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of liberty.

Will you watch today’s parade?

"This We'll Defend." On June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress formally established the American Continental Army. The resolution read: “Resolved, that six companies of expert riflemen, be immediately raised in Pennsylvania, two in Maryland, and two in Virginia; that each company consist of a captain, three lieutenants, four serjeants, four corporals, a drummer or trumpeter, and sixty-eight privates. That each company, as soon as completed, shall march and join the army near Boston, to be there employed as light infantry, under the command of the chief Officer in that army.” Please join the National Board of Management in congratulating the U.S. Army on a quarter-millennium of service! We give thanks to the men and women, including many Daughters, who have served our nation with bravery and dedication in the Army since more than a year before the Declaration of Independence was even signed.

This tiny piece of wood ( #54.4) might look unassuming, but it actually might have an illustrious backstory! According to the donor who gave this item to the DAR Museum in the 1950s, this half-inch fragment came from George Washington’s original coffin! As she explained it, the small piece was given to her husband by John Struthers, one of the makers of the marble sarcophagus that President Washington was transferred into in 1857.

While this story is hard to confirm for certain due to limited documentation, it’s pretty cool to think that this simple-looking object might very well have a presidential connection!
