The Don José Verdugo Chapter, of the National Society of the Daughters the American Revolution, NSDAR or DAR is nestled in the foothills above Los Angeles, California. The chapter was organized on March 27, 1953, by Mrs. Guy Warren Hull, the chapter’s first regent. The chapter‘s name was chosen for its proximity to the land grant of patriot Don José Verdugo. Most members live in the Crescenta Valley, however local residency is not a requirement for any chapter. Our membership predominantly resides in the foothill communities of La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Montrose, Sunland, Tujunga Glendale, Burbank  and Altadena.

We welcome any woman for membership, who is 18 years of age or older and who is descended from a man or a woman who aided in achieving American independence during the period between April 19, 1775, and November 26, 1783.

The Daughters of the American Revolution is a nonprofit nonpolitical women’s volunteer service organization dedicated to our mission is to promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism.

We are an active and dedicated group of women from all walks of life. From professionals, to business owners from young women to grandmothers, we give back to our communities through service and making lifelong friendships along the way. 

The image of Don José Maria Verdugo is in part from a mural depicting Rancho Life in early Glendale. The mural was on the Fidelity Federal Bank building on Broadway in Glendale, California in the 1970s. Normal C. Hayhurst worked for Fidelity Federal Bank, and his wife Margaret saved an image of the complete mural before it was destroyed. Mural artist unknown
