Founded in 1891, Daughters of the Revolution 1776 is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the Patriots whose courage and sacrifice secured American independence. We bring together their descendants in a spirit of unity and patriotism, preserving the legacy of our Revolutionary ancestors and the ideals for which they stood. Following a period of inactivity beginning in 1983, the organization proudly renewed its mission in 2026, carrying its heritage forward while inspiring a new generation to cherish and preserve the story of America’s founding. The Virginia Society Daughters of the Revolution 1776 was formed in September 2026.
