We are glad to have you visit our web site. We are proud of our Denver Chapter as our history goes back many years. We thought you might find it interesting to see some of the Symbols that Denver has chosen for our State. You will find the names of those on the left, at the bottom of the page, plus many more State Symbols at Colorado's Web Site below..

        Denver founded its own chapter on May 26, 1898.  Mrs. Mary Greene Montgomery Slocum, wife of Colorado College President William Slocum and president of the Colorado State Society, helped with the chartering of Denver's chapter.  The 1900-1901 yearbook lists 66 members; by 1901-1903, there were 90. One of those early members was Elizabeth Fletcher Brown Lennon, a Real Daughter. As the name suggests, a Real Daughter is an actual offspring of a Revolutionary War patriot. Her father was Samuel Brown, a second lieutenant in the War. Henry C. Brown, builder of the Brown Palace Hotel and donor of the land on which the state capitol stands, was Mrs. Lennon's brother.

     We've added a page about Corinna Mathews, who celebrated her 103rd birthday recently. She has been a DAR member since February 9, 1927. Click on the link on the bottom left and read about this remarkable woman.
