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.  We are a nonprofit, nonpolitical active 100+ member chapter of women volunteers working together in service to fulfill the organization's three Service to America goals: Historic Preservation, Promotion of Education, and Patriotism.  

Historic Preservation

Congratulations 2025 Grant Winners

On May 21, during our Annual Chapter meeting, our treasurer Mary Anne Thompson (pictured L) presented historic preservation grants to three deserving organizations: the Alden House Historic Site in Duxbury, the Dennis Historical Society, and the Nye Museum in Sandwich. These funds will create a major interactive exhibit at the Alden House, preserve an original 1779 Astronomical Almanack by Nathanael Lowe Dennis, and safeguard important artifacts at the Nye. We are proud to support these initiatives that contribute to the preservation of our rich history.

Patriotism

Chapter Day of Service

Our chapter members and their husbands gathered at the Scusset Beach State Reservation Fishing Pier to support the Wounded Warrior Soldier Ride! Each year, we are proud to provide refreshing drinks and nutritious fruit to riders at the halfway point, helping them stay energized and hydrated.

Together, we honor their dedication and resilience, while fostering strong sense of community and camaraderie.
