The National Society of United States Daughters of 1812 (USD 1812), commonly known as the United States Daughters of 1812, is a patriotic society headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1892 at Cleveland, Ohio, by Flora Darling, and incorporated in 1901 by Congress.[1]
The National Society was established for the purpose of perpetuating the memory of the founders of the United States, with their records of service in the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and War of 1812. It admits women who are lineal descendants from an ancestor who assisted in the War of 1812, either as an officer, soldier, sailor, or in any way gave aid to the war effort.[2] The membership is slightly over 6,000 women.
The National Society is headquartered at 1461 Rhode Island Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. The National Headquarters building was purchased in 1928. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
