Welcome! to the Capt Joshua Gray-Jonathan Hatch Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) chartered on Cape Cod, Massachusetts which serves the Upper Cape, Mid-Cape, and Lower & Outer Cape.

Our chapter joined in celebrating Yarmouth’s 250th anniversary, with State Vice Regent Jean Silva traveling to share greetings from the Massachusetts DAR.
