DAR Insignia The DAR Insignia, at the top of this page, was designed by Dr. George Goode and adopted by the NSDAR on May 26, 1891.  It repeats the spinning wheel emblem already adopted as part of the Society's seal.  The spinning wheel from which the original sketch was made was one that was used by Dr. Goode's mother early in the 1800s,  which he later donated to our Society.  The blue enamel rim of the spinning wheel and the white gold or platinum flax on the distaff represent the Society's colors, which are the dark blue and white used as the colors of the military staff of General George Washington.  The name of the Society is engraved on the blue rim, which is set about with 13 stars representing the 13 colonies.  Only DAR members may purchase or wear the Insignia pin, and each is engraved on the back with the member's name and membership number.  The Insignia pin is worn with a ribbon of the Society's blue, with a white edge, ribbed and watered.  The ribbon is worn on the left shoulder, with the Insignia placed at the bottom, closest to the wearer's heart.

The Hawaii State Pin The NSDAR approved the commission and design of the Hawaii State pin October 24, 1938. The heraldic shield in the center of the pin features a figure of King Kamehameha I, who united the Islands under one rule. On its right side is the Goddess of Liberty holding the Hawaiian flag.  The crown at the top of the pin symbolizes that Hawaii was once a kingdom. A member of any Hawaii chapter may wear this pin.

A member of the DAR may also wear on her ribbon one or more Ancestor Bars, each engraved with the name of a Patriot from whom she is descended, and for whom she has provided documentation proving her lineage and the service rendered by her ancestor.
