The Wisconsin Society Daughters of the American Revolution owns a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a cabin, known as Fort Winnebago Surgeons Quarters, constructed circa 1816-1819. The cabin, once a fur trader’s home, then Sutler’s Store and Surgeons Quarters for Fort Winnebago, was acquired in 1939 after a DAR chapter in the same town discovered that the property was falling into severe disrepair. As a significant property in Wisconsin’s pre-statehood history, this important ‘rescue’ then in 1939 and now as it operates today as a museum is the result of the commitment of Wisconsin Daughters.
This pin requires 5 or more service hours related to the Fort Winnebago Surgeons Quarters. The eligibility for a pin purchase may be authorized by the current State Regent serving Wisconsin.
This pin may only be worn by DAR members on the official Insignia ribbon according to the most current "Placement of DAR Insignia and Pins on Official Ribbon" document found on the Insignia Committee webpage.
This gold-filled pin measures 1"x1".
