The National Society Daughters of the American Colonists was established in 1921 in St. Louis. Now, 100 years later, NSDAC has postponed an in-person celebration until April 2022 in Old Alexandria, Virginia. NSDAC launched its Anniversary Tree logo in 2020. The logo will continue to be used by individual State Societies and Chapter as they celebrate milestone anniversaries. In 1921, along with the National Society, the Arkansas, Georgia, District of Columbia, Missouri, Connecticut, and New York State Societies were also organized.
