Our Chapter was organized in April 1965 by 18 charter members. In April 2003, the Merion-Dr.Rush Chapter merged with the Great Valley Chapter. Today, we have 167 members from Berks, Chester, Delaware, Franklin, Luzerne, Monroe, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties as well as members in Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Austria. We strive to preserve the memory and honor of our Revolutionary ancestors who helped win our nation's independence.

We are a service organization dedicated to pursuing the objectives of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution ( NSDAR ) - Historic Preservation, Promotion of Education, and Patriotic Endeavor.
