Welcome to the Lily of the Cahaba Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
We are based in Hoover, Alabama with over 100 members from the surrounding communities of Jefferson and Shelby counties, as well as other outlying counties. Membership includes Juniors (age 18-35), mothers and daughters, sisters, grandmothers, and many friends. We meet at 2:00 PM on the second Saturday of each month from September through May in Hoover. Guests are always welcomed.
We provide individual help for anyone who is interested in tracing a descendent from a patriot in the American Revolution. An annual workshop is also usually held once a year in July or August. Please contact our Registrar, Shelby Bailey, for more information about researching your lineage and joining our chapter.
We have committees that are very active in overseeing our activities with historic preservation, patriotism, and education. Just a few examples of the activities we participate in are listed below. Each member is encouraged to join in the activity of her choice.
We have guest speakers at each meeting who cover a variety of topics, including women's issues, literacy, genealogy, Native American history, education, history of the U. S. Flag, military and veterans topics, and many more. Check our Programs link to find a topic that interest you and come visit us.
