Jack Jouett Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Charlottesville, Virginia

Organized on February 13, 1922, the Jack Jouett Chapter,  National Society Daughters of the American Revolution took its name from Captain Jack Jouett, Jr., "The Paul Revere of the South." On the night of June 4, 1781, Captain Jouett rode 40 miles from the Cuckoo Tavern in Louisa County to Monticello to warn Governor Thomas Jefferson and the Virginia General Assembly of Colonel Banastre Tarleton's march to capture the group.

The Chapter sponsors many activities and projects that promote the objectives of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution: History, Education and Patriotism. Perpetuating the memory of Captain Jouett's courageous ride and his other accomplishments is one of the Chapter's ongoing projects.
