About Our Chapter
Founded to advance the mission of NSDAR in Baton Rouge and the surrounding area, our chapter supports projects in preservation, education, and patriotism and recognizes outstanding service in our community.
Our History
The Baton Rouge Chapter, NSDAR, was named for the City of Baton Rouge and the old fort of that name. This fort, defended by the British, surrendered to Governor Bernardo de Gálvez and his American allies in 1779—one of the few battles of the American Revolution fought outside the limits of the thirteen colonies. The chapter was organized in 1925 by Mrs. C. B. Turner, and a charter was granted in 1926.
Today, the Baton Rouge Chapter is among the largest in Louisiana with approximately 150 members. Our calendar features the George Washington Luncheon each February, an annual heritage-focused excursion, and chapter participation in the Wreaths Across America program at Port Hudson National Cemetery each December.
