Our Chapter
Welcome to the website of the Tombstone Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Our chapter serves Bisbee, Douglas, Elfrida, Hereford, Sierra Vista, and Tombstone, Arizona, and the surrounding areas. In October of 2009, our chapter celebrated its 40th anniversary.
Our chapter strives to embody the DAR motto of "God, Home, and Country." We embrace the NSDAR objectives of historic preservation, promotion of education, and encouragement of patriotic endeavor.
The name of our chapter is derived from a group of rocks, which looked at night like a row of tombstones. These "Tombstone Rocks" are located near the Schieffelin Monument, the final resting spot of Tombstone's founder, Ed Schieffelin, in Tombstone, Arizona.

About Sierra Vista
Our town is located seventy-five miles southeast of Tucson in Cochise County, southeastern Arizona. The name of our town, Sierra Vista, is taken from the Spanish "Vista de la Sierra" or "Mountain View," referring to the beautiful surrounding Huachuca, Dragoon and Mule Mountain Ranges.

In 2006, Sierra Vista celebrated its 50th Anniversary. |
|
Nearby Ramsey Canyon and its nature preserve is home to more species of
hummingbirds than can be found anywhere else in the U.S. Sierra Vista is known as "The Hummingbird Capital of the United States." |

Sierra Vista also encompasses historic Fort Huachuca, an active military
base, and home to the Buffalo Soldiers Cavalry. |
