The Bellefonte Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) was founded on October 10, 1895, in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, the county seat of Centre County and home to four Pennsylvania governors. Our charter members were benefactors of the Farmers High School, later the Pennsylvania State University.
Our chapter has two Real Daughters; women who were first generation daughters of an American Revolutionary War Patriot.
Meetings are held monthly from September through June. Below is a typical program year for our chapter.
Meetings are usually held on Saturdays or in the evenings, to accommodate the typical workweek schedule. Most of our chapter activities are held in State College, Pennsylvania, or the surrounding areas.
We would love to welcome you to an upcoming meeting.
