About Us

Sierra Amador Chapter, NSDAR, took its name from beautiful Amador County where we meet and the Sierra Nevada range of which our county is a part. We were organized June 26, 2006, as a chapter in the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. We have more than 70 members from all backgrounds ranging in age from 22 to 95. We meet nine times a year from January through May and September through December in Jackson, a gold-rush town established in 1850. Our meetings usually include a potluck lunch, a business meeting, and a guest speaker on a topic of interest to all.
