The Agua Fria Chapter, NSDAR, was organized on November 14, 1961. Gertrude Reed Slane was the organizing regent.
Maude Ragsdale Cheek Wallace was the first regent. Agua Fria Chapter, NSDAR, was named for the Agua Fria River, which provided cooling water for Arizona pioneers. Although dry today, the river left its heritage of rich soil to provide farmlands that grew diversified crops to feed the nation and give employment to thousands. Agua Fria Chapter, NSDAR, was the first chapter in the United States to be organized in a retirement community.

Our chapter members are a diverse group of women. We are professionals, paraprofessionals, artists, poets, homemakers, and retirees of differing ages and backgrounds. Through our American Revolutionary War Patriot ancestors, we share a common bond that unites us in a common mission:  to promote the development of an enlightened public opinion; and to foster patriotic citizenship. Agua Fria Chapter. NSDAR, members are actively involved in chapter projects and community events promoting patriotism, historic preservation, and education. The chapter serves to honor the NSDAR motto of “God, Home and Country.”

We invite and welcome you to attend any of the Agua Fria Chapter, NSDAR, meetings or events, meet our Daughters, and explore what we do. Monthly meetings include a social period, a business session, and a program with a notable speaker.
