HISTORY
The Daughters of Utah Pioneers was founded in Salt Lake City in 1901 as an international non-sectarian, non-political organization of female descendants of Utah pioneers dedicated to preserving their heritage.The first DUP camp in Washington County was formed in 1921. In 2001, it was divided into three camps.
Funding from Hortense McQuarrie Odlum led to the construction of a DUP museum in St. George. The DUP McQuarrie Memorial Museum was dedicated on June 17, 1938 and is still in operation today.
