Silver Bow Chapter is  Montana's first Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) chapter and  was organized three and a half years after the appointment of a State  Regent.  It was organized December 21, 1897.
The name Silver Bow was derived from Silver Bow Creek.  Prospectors saw the sun break through  clouds and its bright glance fell on the waters below the mountains,  burnishing them to brilliancy as though they clasped the vale in a bow  like silver.
Eleven State Regents  have come from this chapter.  The first state conference was held in  Butte in 1904.  In 1906 Montana was represented for the first time at  Continental Congress by a Silver Bow State Regent.  They are very active with genealogical records.  They support their community and youth in  more ways than space permits.
