Our Chapter<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Our chapter was organized on December 15, 2018. Though based in Evans, Georgia, many members live all over the central Savannah River area, and we actively participate in events located throughout the area. Although we meet on Saturday afternoons to accommodate working women and mothers of school-age children, we are from all age groups and walks of life. We believe in the strength of diversity and using member talents to promote our goals of historic preservation, patriotism, and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stallings Island Chapter, NSDAR, is a chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR), and a part of the Georgia State Society, DAR (GSSDAR). Named after the National Historic Landmark in Columbia County, Georgia, our chapter strives to be a good steward in order to “guard that which is committed to our trust and provide security for future generations.”<\/p>\n\n\n

About Stallings Island<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stallings Island is located in the Fall Zone of the Savannah River, approximately eight miles above Augusta, Georgia. The Fall Zone is a geological transitional area between the rocky Piedmont and the sandy Coastal Plain. The island, a designated National Historic Landmark site, was donated to the Archaeological Conservancy by Wyck and Shell Knox in 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stallings Island was a significant settlement of Late Archaic Native Americans between 4500 and 3500 years ago. Significant archaeological findings of shellfish and other food remains, artifacts, pit features, and human burials support the belief that this was the home of a culture advanced beyond those surrounding it. The Stallings fiber-tempered wares are the oldest examples of pottery in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
