May 25, 1932 – Washington Memorial Tree

On May 25, 1932, the National Society United States Daughters of 1812 dedicated a cedar tree in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States, in Presidio Park. Members of the organization were very pleased to present the tree to the City of San Diego. Founded in 1892 by Flora Adams Darling and headquartered in Washington, D.C., the National Society United States Daughters of 1812 is a non-profit, non-political, women’s service organization for descendants of American patriots who provided civil, military, or naval service to our country from 1784 to 1815.
