Who Are the United Daughters of the Confederacy?

The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) is a Southern heritage organization made up of the direct and collateral female descendants of the soldiers, sailors, and statesmen of the Confederate States of America (1861-1865). The aims of the General organization, which was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1894 and reorganized in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1895, are to preserve and protect the historical writings of the Confederacy, the true history of its people, and historic sites of Confederate valor, while honoring the memory of those gallant boys in gray.

If you live in Houston or Milam County, and would like to pursue membership in the United Daughters of the Confederacy through the
Elizabeth Wilcox Wallis Chapter 1794, please contact us for further information:
