The Fort Plain Chapter, NSDAR was organized in 1897 in Fort Plain, New York.

The chapter is named in honor of the Revolutionary War fort built in 1776 that became the American Army Valley Headquarters. General Washington visited Fort Plain in July 1783.

Our chapter house was originally a trading post built by Isaac Paris, Jr. Until 1790, it was the largest building west of Schenectady. It saw many guests, including Baron Steuben, Colonel Marinus Willett and Indian Chiefs Cornplanter and Joseph Brandt. In 1932, it became our chapter house.

Fort Plain Chapter is proud to count among its past members Bertha Dunkel Duffy (Mrs. George), New York State Regent from 1938-1941.

The chapter has 33 members and meets April through November on the first Wednesday evening of the month.
