Historical Note

The Utah State Society Daughters of the Revolution began in 1898 as the Wasatch Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution. It became the Utah State Society Daughters of the Revolution on 16 November 1898, with official recognition extended by the National Daughters of the Revolution, headquartered in New York City.

The purpose of the organization was to honor their ancestors who fought in the American Revolutionary War by promoting democratic and patriotic standards and ideals. The Society prided itself on doing noteworthy deeds outside their membership confines for the public schools, the city, state, and nation. The chapter closed on 13 October 1977 due to membership decline.
