Gold Trail Chapter, NSDAR

Roseville, California

Welcome

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) is a nonprofit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America’s future through better education.

Our chapter is active in community and patriotic events throughout the year — from local Independence Day parades and historic exhibits to veterans’ memorial dedications and Wreaths Across America. Join us!
