The DAR School was in Ashville first – in the Hopewell Community. It was moved to Guntersville around 1923 because they didn’t have a school. Many residents of the Ashville area have descendants who attended there.
This is a beautiful school and one where patriotism, respect, and good character are still valued. Three other DAR chapter members and I were there last Wednesday and it truly is the “Gem of Gunter Mountain.”

While the DAR doesn’t own it, the Crossnore School and Children’s Home in Crossnore, NC, near Winston-Salem, has been supported by DAR for decades.

DAR School moved there from Ashville, AL. My grandfather went to school there and I have pictures.
