We are a diverse group of women united by our proven lineal descent from the patriots of the American Revolution, and we share a deep commitment to fostering good citizenship, educating our youth, and preserving our past for future generations. Our chapter, which proudly boasts over 95 dedicated members—many of whom serve as state officers or committee chairs—has had the honor of hosting the Washington DAR State Conferences in 2011 and 2015. We warmly welcome Daughters from other chapters to join us as Associate members, including those from overseas, as we continue to celebrate our rich heritage and work together to create a brighter future.
Over 40 Years of Service and Tradition.
Founded in 1981, the David Douglas Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) celebrates over 40 years of promoting patriotism, supporting education, fostering good citizenship, honoring veterans, and preserving history in our community. Our Chapter is named after the Scottish pioneer botanist David Douglas (1799-1834). His most notable discovery is the majestic Douglas Fir, the dominant tree west of the Cascade Mountains in our beautiful Pacific Northwest.
National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) is a non-political organization open to women over the age of 18 who can prove linear descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence. Founded in 1890, there are over 190,000 members across approximately 3,000 DAR chapters in all 50 states, Washington DC, and overseas.
David Douglas Chapter is a Lantern Chapter!
