Parkinson's Ferry Society, C.A.R.
National Society of the Children of the American Revolution

Greetings: Welcome to Southwestern Pennsylvania's local society of the Children of the American Revolution.
      Our Society's name is Parkinson's Ferry Society. The Children of the American Revolution is a historical society, whose members' ancestry date back to the American Revolutionary War.
      We meet locally in the suburbs of Pittsburgh but are headquartered out of California, Pennsylvania. We are sponsored by the Monongahela Valley Chapter, DAR. We incorporate the State, Regional and National meetings into our schedule. Therefore, we meet once a month (including these other dates) with the exception of February. Generally we hold 6 local meetings. These meetings are often held in members' homes, but we have been known to travel to historical and theme-related events.
      We encourage new members and ideas all the time. We hold elections of local officers and encourage participation from members.
If you are interested in learning more about history and have the ancestry - - please contact us.

S. Beth Licciardello, Senior Society President


Our 2008 Christmas Tea was fun for all who came.
