Inventory of the San Antonio de Bexar Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution collection, 1917-1990
Historical NoteSan Antonio de Bexar Chapter is the oldest and largest Daughters of the American Revolution chapter in San Antonio. The San Antonio de Bexar Chapter was organized by Miss Mary Eleanor Brackenridge and selected its name at a meeting held on February 3rd, 1902 at the Woman's Club. The name is taken from the city and county where the chapter is located. Since 1941 the chapter has awarded an annual scholarship to local high school students to aid in furthering their education. During the "Bicentennial of George Washington's Birthday" the chapter gave 140 live oak trees to Randolph Air Force Base. The chapter has also placed markers on several historical buildings. In 1907 the chapter's first yearbook was printed. Since 1911 an "In Memoriam" page has been added to the yearbook to honor all deceased members of the chapter. The chapter is part of the San Antonio Area Regents Council along with seven other area chapters that work together to promote Daughters of the American Revolution in the community.
