Sarah Riggs Humphreys-Mary Silliman Chapter, NSDAR, Inc.

Welcome to the Sarah Riggs Humphreys-Mary Silliman Chapter (SRH-MS), Daughters of the American Revolution! Our chapter supports Derby, Shelton, Trumbull, Stratford, Bridgeport, and Monroe, and other surrounding towns.

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America’s future through better education for children.

This past June, our Regent Deb Heim, Vice Regent Sally Finck, Historian Sharon Mitchell and Librarian Barbara Wells travelled to Washington D.C. to attend DAR’s annual Continental Congress.

Please visit the General David Humphreys House for more information on Sarah Riggs Humphreys and General David Humphreys. For questions or feedback regarding this website, please email the Sarah Riggs Humphreys-Mary Silliman webmaster.
