Washington State Society Daughters of the American Colonists

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 is designed to tell you about our state organization and 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 4 July 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." My project for our state is to mark a women's suffrage site in Thurston County on the Littlerock Elementary School grounds. We hope to have it in place by 2020, the 100th anniversary of national women's suffrage. As part of the national and statewide recognition of this historic event, we will make it a celebration for our school kids to remember!

As Washington State Regent and on behalf of the Washington State Daughters, welcome to our website.
