The History of Our Chapter The organizing meeting of the Fort Severn Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) was held on January 30, 1965, at the Wagon Wheels Restaurant in Severna Park, Maryland. Although the weather that day was poor, 14 of the 18 members were present. Several meetings were previously held for the purpose of establishing the Fort Severn Chapter. The twenty-nine charter members of the Fort Severn Chapter of the NSDAR received charter acceptance on August 11, 1967. The Fort Severn chapter 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 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 Capt. John Ward Veazey Society of the C.A.R. Today, there are sixty-three members and five associate members of the Fort Severn Chapter. The majority of our members live around the Severna Park and Pasadena, Maryland area. Please email us for information on how to join. |
