Daughters of the American Revolution Historical Markers
Markers erected by all chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The Society is dedicated to historical preservation, accomplished by the efforts of its chapters at the local level. One of the ways they accomplish this is by placing monuments around the world to memorialize people and events throughout American history.
