Welcome
We are delighted that you would like to learn about the Temperance Smith Alston Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR). We continually look for new opportunities to promote the DAR objectives of support for historic preservation, education, and patriotism. We enjoy our volunteer activities and are proud to make a difference in the lives of our community of Pinehurst, our state, and our country.
In addition to our regular meetings, our chapter sponsors educational awards and scholarships. We support Crossnore Communities for Children along with other DAR supported schools. We honor our American Revolutionary War ancestors and recognize outstanding citizens in our area including veterans.
Each member is a direct descendant of a Patriot of the American Revolutionary War. Our heritage and service to our country is important to each of us.
Our chapter was honored with a plaque at the historic House in the Horseshoe for our support in its restoration.
