Welcome to the Narcissa Whitman Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR)
Founded in 1909 by twenty-one visionary women, our chapter has proudly served the Yakima community for over a century—promoting patriotism, advancing education, and preserving our nation's rich history.
As a lineage-based organization, DAR membership is open to women who can trace their ancestry to patriots who helped secure American independence during the Revolutionary War. With over one million members worldwide and chapters in all fifty states and many countries, DAR is one of the largest and most active women's service organizations in the world.
Our members are united by a shared love of country and a deep respect for our heritage. Our chapter includes approximately 70 dedicated women from diverse backgrounds and professions, each bringing unique talents and perspectives. We meet monthly and enjoy a variety of engaging speakers and programs.
We are also deeply committed to community service, supporting veterans, active-duty military members, and their families, and educational initiatives throughout the Yakima area.
We invite you to attend one of our chapter meetings and get to know our members. You’ll discover how we stay connected to our community—and how we can help you trace your lineage, the first step toward becoming a member of the NSDAR. Many of our members are experienced volunteer genealogists who are happy to assist you.
We look forward to meeting you!
