We are so glad you
found us.
What an exciting time to join the United States
Daughters of
1812. Chapters and state societies around the
country are
planning events to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
Our chapter is no exception.
Did you know that there were at least 94 known different Forts
and
blockhouses scattered across the southern part of the Illinois
Territory that were active as shelters for the duration of the
war? In Greenville, Illinois, where our chapter is located,
we
are fortunate to be associated with the local Hills Fort.

Our chapter meets four times a year at various locations in southern
Illinois. Perhaps you'd like to join us during this time of
commemoration. Please contact our
chapter
president for more information on upcoming meetings and activities.
