Our History
On November 9, 1972, at a
dinner at the historic Wortley Hotel in Lincoln, New Mexico, Sierra Blanca
Chapter NSDAR was organized as the 16th chapter of the New Mexico
Daughters of the American Revolution. The name Sierra Blanca was chosen because
Sierra Blanca Peak dominates the landscape in the area, seeming to challenge
all to reach for ever-higher goals.
