Welcome to the Narcissa Whitman Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)! Our chapter, founded in 1909 by twenty-one charter members, celebrates over 100 years of service in Yakima promoting patriotism, education, and historic preservation.
We are a lineage-based organization of members descended from patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. Nationally, more than 1,000,000 women have joined, with chapters in all fifty states and many countries around the world. DAR is one of the world's largest and most active service organizations. We are committed to volunteer service, supporting projects that help veterans, active duty military and their families, and education efforts in our community.
Our chapter holds monthly meetings and feature a variety of speakers. We have approximately 70 women with varied backgrounds, talents and professional experiences in many fields, each of whom is respected and valued as a member. Our common bond is our love of country and pride in our inheritance.
We encourage you to learn more about the Narcissa Whitman Chapter NSDAR by attending one of our meetings and meeting our members. You'll learn how we connect to our Yakima community. Many of our Daughters are volunteer genealogists who can assist you with proving your lineage, the stepping stone to membership in our organization.
