The Kansas Society NSDAR's newest chapter, the Ephraim Basehor Chapter is committed to the DAR objectives of God, Home, and Country and looks forward to a long history of community involvement.

About Our Community

Basehor was founded in 1889 by Reuben Basehor and his brother Ephraim. They both were of Pennsylvania Dutch descent and came to Kansas in 1854. After living in Lawrence for a time, Ephraim began working as a hired hand for an area farmer. He eventually bought the farm and other land holdings in the area.

In 1889, the railroad was completed and Ephraim plotted his land and began building the town site. It was dedicated on November 30, 1889, and was named after Basehor.
