Welcome to the Washington State Society DAC website! The Daughters of the American Colonists is a lineage society dedicated to patriotism, education, and historic preservation. We are also about friendship and community service. This website
explains all about our state organization, and we encourage your participation. Please come inside to learn more about the Washington State Society. We have gathered information that you should find informative and interesting.

Our members are all descendants of a man or woman who rendered patriotic or civil service to the American Colonies prior to July
4, 1776. Perhaps you have a Colonial ancestor in your family as well! While we are a lineage organization, we are also a service organization. Washington Daughters are active throughout their communities, promoting
patriotism, education, and historic preservation.
Our National Theme is "Participation through Involvement." Embracing that theme, as State Regent
in Washington State, my project is to mark and celebrate the 1870 women's suffrage site in
south Thurston County on the
Littlerock Elementary School grounds. We had a marker installed in the
summer of 2020, through a Votes for Women Centennial Grant from the
Washington State Historical Society. Happily, it was completed just in
time for the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment! As part of the
national and statewide recognition, we will hold a grand celebration for
our community and school kids to remember! Mark your calendar for
Saturday, October 17, at 2 p.m. on the Littlerock Elementary School
grounds. Please be sure to click on the "my project" button to learn
about our history contest for kids and the upcoming celebration. We
invite you!

chapter nearest you or our
state registrar.
