Welcome
The Anna Maria Pittman Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR), is one of 31 chapters in Oregon. The Anna Maria Pittman Chapter was organized on December 4, 1985 in Keizer, Oregon with fifteen members. Our Chapter's name was chosen to honor a vibrant young missionary who came to the Oregon country in 1837 to marry Jason Lee.
The Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR), founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a lineage-based non-profit, non-political volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children.
For over 136 years, the members of the NSDAR have dedicated themselves to historical preservation, promotion of education, and encouragement of patriotic endeavor. These goals are as relevant in today's society as they were when the organization was founded in 1890.

Activities
Most of DAR's volunteer work is accomplished by the grassroots efforts of chapters on the local level, which focus on the mission areas of DAR. Encouraging members to become involved in these initiatives in their local communities is a prime objective of DAR. The Anna Maria Pittman Chapter, NSDAR supports education, historic preservation, and patriotism in our community. We participate in a variety of projects, including:
- Toiletries for the Simonka Place for Women and Children, Keizer.
- Operation Diaper Bag Baby Shower to benefit veterans.
- Keizer Food Pantry food contributions.
- Support for the Lee Mission Pioneer Cemetery.
- Support for the McNary High School Junior Air Force (JROTC) program.
