About the organization
The DAR is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of American history, promotion of patriotism and public education, with more than 3,000 chapters across the world, according to its website.
The Daniel Coleman chapter, named after an express courier in the American Revolutionary War, meets regularly in Georgetown. It was the first DAR chapter in Williamson County, according to county documents.
Something to note
To mark the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026, the Daniel Coleman chapter sponsored the American Revolution Experience Traveling Exhibit, which will be hosted at the Williamson Museum until Dec. 20. It will then be spilt between the Georgetown and Round Rock public libraries from Dec. 21-Jan. 2.
The exhibit, a partnership between the DAR and the American Battlefield Trust, uses displays, interactive kiosks, artifacts and illustrations to showcase different Revolutionary War experiences. There will also be additional panels on Texas’ role in American independence.
