Welcome to the web site for the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War 1861-1865, Oklahoma Department.
Our Department was organized on September 18, 1926 and we currently have three tents.
We are daughters - direct line descendants - from Veterans of the Union Army and Navy who fought in the defense and for the preservation of our Nation during the American Civil War. We honor our Veterans through service projects which are of benefit to the public at the local, state and national level.
We encourage all daughters who descend from one or more Union Veterans to join with us in honoring their ancestors.
