Michael Trebert, a chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, (NSDAR or DAR), was organized on November 6, 1916.

​We are excited about the future and are focused on promoting DAR's three objectives: historic preservation, education promotion, and patriotic endeavor.

Our chapter holds monthly meetings from Sept-May, taking a winter break from meetings in December and January to focus on WAA and other community events during the busy holiday months.  

Here is our upcoming schedule for Sept. 2026-May 2027:  Fall & Late Spring Meetings: Saturdays at 9:00 AM and  February & March Meetings: Wednesdays at 12:00 Noon.  

If you are interested in attending a meeting as a guest, please email our Regent.
​
If you are 18 years or over, think you have an American Revolutionary War ancestor, and can document your descendancy, we are happy to help you with your membership application. Please email our Registrar for membership assistance.

Women join the DAR for a variety of reasons. We strive to cultivate sisterhood while we support the community in which we work and live. 
 At the heart of our chapter is a commitment to our local community.  We bring the three pillars of the DAR to life through meaningful service projects and chapter events.
