The Tamassee DAR School is a school in Tamassee, South Carolina, founded in 1919 by the Daughters of the American Revolution to serve the underprivileged children of Appalachia. Historic buildings can be observed on the DAR School campus. The school survives and thrives to this day, consistently graduating classes of children between the ages of 7 and 18. The school gymnasium is named after DAR President General May Erwin Talmadge, who redistributed money to the school from the DAR War Fund following the end of World War II.
The school was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
