About Arizona State Society, DAR

Greetings from our State Regent

One of the objectives of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) is to protect important historical locations and erect monuments to preserve American history for future generations. For over a century, members have placed historical markers across the state to commemorate people and events important to our state’s history.

Joining DAR

Arizona has over 3,000 members

The education of young people is one of the objectives of the DAR. Members are passionate about educating youth and contributing to schools and student programs. We organize events around Constitution Week
(September 17-23) each year, sponsor essay contests, award scholarships, promote literacy and support our community classrooms.

Our Chapters

Join one of our 43 chapters

Since 1901, the Arizona State Society, DAR, has been dedicated to the promotion of patriotism. We support active-duty military and veterans with donations and volunteer projects. We recognize the accomplishments of others with the DAR Good Citizens Award and Scholarship Contest for high school seniors, Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) Medals, and awards for community volunteers. Arizona State Society, DAR, members attend naturalization ceremonies across the state welcoming new citizens.

Greetings from Arizona State Society, DAR!

Welcome to the DAR in the Grand Canyon state on behalf of the more than 3,000 Arizona Daughters!  The Arizona State Society, DAR, also known as ASDAR, began in 1901 before statehood when Arizona was a southwestern territory. Today Arizona is home to 43 chapters across the state from northern Flagstaff to southern Sierra Vista; from western Lake Havasu to eastern Safford; and the Phoenix and Tucson areas in between. Although Arizona Daughters come from many different cities and towns, we all share our love of history, genealogy and service to our communities.

The Daughters of the American Revolution is open to any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a Patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership. Not sure if you have an ancestor who supported the American cause during the American Revolutionary War? Contact us and we can help! What better time to join the DAR than now as our nation turns 250 years old!

Members of the DAR honor our Patriot ancestors by doing projects and giving service to our communities. We hope that you explore our website to gain a further understanding of what Arizona State Society, DAR, does in our communities. Please reach out with any questions about our organization and how we can support your community.

In DAR Service and Friendship,

Sarah Ziker, Regent
Arizona State Society, DAR

The 250th Birthday of the United States is just a few years away!

The Daughters of the American Revolution plans to honor American Revolutionary War Patriots by engaging students through contests and educational programming while being involved with celebrations in communities across the country and in Arizona. The America 250 Commission’s goal is to catalyze a more perfect union by designing and leading the most comprehensive and inclusive celebration in our country’s history. We hope to honor our first 250 years and inspire Americans to imagine our next 250!

How would you have chosen to experience the American Revolution?  How were the lives of ordinary people affected by the events of the American Revolutionary War? As tensions mounted across the thirteen colonies, the entire revolutionary generation was faced with a difficult choice: to pledge loyalty to the Patriot cause and the prospect of a new nation or remain loyal to the King as subjects of the British Empire.  How would you choose?
