We are a volunteer women's service organization

the local, state, and national level, including:
- Documenting and preserving genealogical and historic research for future generations.
- Special observance of soldiers' graves and historic sites.
- Assisting prospective members to process their papers.
- The DAR provides a free download of the

heritage. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Polly Wyckoff-David
