Our Chapter Objectives
The Fort Severn Chapter, (NSDAR or DAR), is a lineage society that furthers the objectives of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. These objectives are:
Historic Preservation, Promotion of Education, and Patriotic Endeavors
Our chapter achieves these objectives in the Severna Park community through our programs and activities. We are a group of women who are bound together by the bravery of our patriots and their wives and families during the American Revolution.
History of Our Chapter
The organizing meeting of the Fort Severn Chapter, NSDAR, was held on January 30, 1965, at the Wagon Wheels Restaurant in Severna Park, Maryland. Although the weather that day was poor, 14 of the 18 members were present. Several meetings were previously held for the purpose of establishing the Fort Severn Chapter, NSDAR.
The twenty-nine charter members of the Fort Severn Chapter, NSDAR, received acceptance on August 11, 1967.
The Fort Severn Chapter, NSDAR, is named after historic Fort Severn (1808 - 1909) in Annapolis, Maryland, now part of Bancroft Hall at the US Naval Academy. A bronze marker placed by the chapter commemorates its location.
The Fort Severn Chapter, NSDAR, formed a Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.) Society in 1967, with only 15 members. This chapter is still active today and is known as the Captain John Ward Veazey Society, C.A.R.
