Founded in 1891, the Daughters of The Republic of Texas is the oldest patriotic women’s organization in Texas and one of the oldest in the nation! Learn more about the remarkable history of the DRT by Galveston Chapter President, Susan Polk.
Susan Polk is a 7th generation Texan who has spent her life honoring the state she loves. As President of the Sidney Sherman Chapter, Daughters of the Republic of Texas — the founding chapter of the DRT — she is passionate about keeping Texas history alive and relevant for future generations.
Susan holds a BA from Austin College and an MBA from Houston Baptist University, and brings that same dedication to her work as a marketing strategist helping businesses thrive in a rapidly changing world. She also serves as Honorary Regent of the George Washington Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution — the first DAR chapter established in Texas.
The presentation will be "Daughters of the Republic of Texas: It Didn't Start (or End) at the Alamo" and will discuss the founding of DRT here in Galveston.
