For over 110 years, the Harrisburg Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution has helped to preserve the memories and history of the Patriots of the Revolutionary War who fought against all odds for the freedom for the people of a new nation. Through various projects the Harrisburg Chapter has continued the legacy of past Daughters to acknowledge the patriotism of our troops and veterans; to perpetuate the history of our founding fathers; and to educate future generations for posterity.
