Daughters of the American Revolution
The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR) is a service organization open to any woman age 18 years or older who can prove lineal descent from an American Revolutionary War Patriot. Much of the work of DAR is accomplished by volunteers in its chapters across the United States and internationally in order to promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism.
The Gila Valley Chapter, NSDAR, is a local chapter of DAR. Our chapter is based in Safford, Arizona, at the base of Mount Graham along the Salsa Trail in southeastern Arizona. Our members come from many parts of the Gila Valley and beyond.

Our Chapter
In keeping with the objectives of the National Society, chapter members work together on numerous projects in order to promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism. We all have busy lives, so our projects offer ways to contribute that fit our schedules. We keep in touch across our many service projects through monthly meetings, where we enjoy an informative program, business session, and socializing. If you would like to attend one of our meetings, please contact our chapter regent. Visitors are most welcome to join us!

We invite you to contact our chapter registrar who will help you get started in becoming a member of DAR, including tracing your heritage to find an American Revolutionary War Patriot.Chapter Namesake
Our chapter is named for the Gila (pronounced HE-la) Valley, nestled between the base of the majestic 11,000-foot Mount Graham to the south and the 6,000-foot Gila Mountains to the north. The Gila River originates in New Mexico, runs through our valley, and joins the Colorado River at Arizona’s western border.
