We are named after the old Desert Wells Stage Stop located on the former Andrade Ranch in Queen Creek, Arizona, now owned and maintained by the San Tan Historical Society. It was a small spur stop that holds a significant role in Queen Creek's history and folklore. To learn more about stagecoaches and their role, please click here.

Chapter History
The Desert Wells Chapter, NSDAR, was organized in December 2005 with 15 members. We are a growing and very active chapter. We customarily meet from September through May on the second Saturday of the month in the Gilbert, Arizona, area. Visitors are always welcome! Our members come from Queen Creek, Apache Junction, Florence, Gold Canyon, and San Tan Valley.
We range in age from late teens to our 80s! We are professional women, students, stay-at-home moms, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, single parents, and both current and retired military members and wives. We'll be here in casual attire and dresses. Some of us have multiple generations in the DAR, while some of us are just starting as the first generation. We may be different in many ways, but we all believe in the basic tenets of supporting God, Home, and Country.
