Members of the Maryland State Society Daughters of the American Revolution attended the 7 Eastern Shore Chapters Luncheon on Tuesday, Aug. 5, at the J.M. Tawes Museum in Crisfield.
Hosted by Nanticoke Chapter, which serves Somerset County, the event was attended by over 50 women, including MSSDAR officers from the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area.
The annual event is hosted by a different Eastern Shore chapter each year. In addition to Nanticoke Chapter, there are Head of Elk (Cecil), Old Kent (Kent), Gen. Perry Benson (Talbot), Great Choptank (Dorchester), Samuel Chase (Wicomico) and Gen. Levin Winder (Worcester) chapters.
The guest speaker was historian and genealogist Jo Paden of Crisfield, founder of Chesapeake Storyteller, which hosts tours and events throughout the Chesapeake Bay region.
Daughters of the American Revolution is a service society open to women who have proven direct lineal descent from Patriots who served the Revolutionary War cause. Formed in 1890, DAR promotes historic preservation, patriotism and education throughout the country.
