Welcome to the North Riding Chapter Website!

Celebrating over 90 Years of Serving Our Community and our Nation!


The North Riding Chapter, NSDAR, located in Manhasset, New York, was organized on November 3, 1930. The name "North Riding" was given to the chapter because in England a "riding" was the distance a person could ride in a day. In 1665, our area was divided into three "ridings" and we were designated North. We promote the objectives listed below. These objectives were established at the first meeting of the National Society.

​Patriotism


​"To cherish, maintain, and extend the institutions of American freedom, to foster true patriotism and love of country, and to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of liberty.”


​Education

PictureDAR School of Sunfish Pin

​"To carry out the injunction of Washington in his farewell address to the American people, 'to promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge, thus developing an enlightened public opinion…"

North Riding helps to support education through sponsoring essay contests and presenting awards to school children. We also help support the DAR Schools.

​Historic Preservation


​"To perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence." 

Throughout the decades our chapter has marked the resting place of patriots.

We also work to help local historical societies preserve sites and archival materials.

We have successfully sponsored two NSDAR Grants, in 2016 and in 2019. Both grants were used to preserve our history!
