Marion Moncure Duncan Traveling Tray Award

Since the 1960s, in honor of Marion Moncure Duncan's lifelong dedication to supporting young women and DAR, the John Alexander Chapter, NSDAR, has given this award to Virginia chapters who have done extraordinary things to support and/or promote Junior membership. Please visit the Virginia DAR website to learn more.

Bicentennial Scarf

As the bicentennial celebration of the United States' 200th birthday swept across the country in the 1970s, the ladies of the John Alexander Chapter, NSDAR, came up with the idea of creating and selling a patriotic scarf to raise funds for historic preservation projects to honor their American Revolutionary War ancestors. The blue and white silk scarves were a hit  and thousands were sold far and wide!


Complimentary scarves were sent to several VIPs as gifts, including in 1972, to Mrs. Betty Ford, the First Lady of the United States, and to Mrs. Jinks Holton, the First Lady of Virginia.


If you have a bicentennial scarf, inherited a scarf from your mother or grandmother, or remember them being worn by ladies in and around the Washington, D.C., metro area in the 1970s, we would love to hear from you.
