Ann Arundel Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution

Ann Arundel Chapter, NSDAR, was organized November 13, 1911. The chapter was named for Lady Anne Arundell, wife of Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Lord Baltimore. As the chapter was named for the daughter of Lord Arundell Wardour, and not for Anne Arundel County, it was decided to use the name "Ann Arundel." At the 7th Annual State Conference on November 16, 1911, the new chapter was introduced as "Ann Arundel" with the accent upon the first syllable of the surname (Air'-un-dell).

Peggy Stewart Tea Party Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution

In 1889, when ladies of Annapolis formed the DAR chapter, they chose to be known as the “Peggy Stewart Tea Party,” commemorating this historic event. For over a hundred years, our chapter has been promoting patriotism, supporting our veterans and educating our youth in Maryland’s capital city of Annapolis through the programs of the NSDAR.

Fort Severn Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution

The Fort Severn Chapter NSDAR is named after Fort Severn (1808 - 1909) which was located in Annapolis, Maryland, currently where the fifth wing of the Bancroft Hall at the Naval Academy now stands. A bronze marker may be seen today on the fifth wing of the Bancroft Hall which the Fort Severn Chapter of DAR placed in remembrance.

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 of the C.A.R.

Today, there are fifty-six members and two associate members of the Fort Severn Chapter NSDAR. The majority of our members live around the Severna Park and Pasadena, Maryland area.
