The Fresno-Yosemite Chapter is located in the central valley agricultural area of California, between Los Angeles and Sacramento.  Fresno is home to many cultures, faiths, and interests. Several universities also call Fresno home, including California State University, Fresno, and Fresno City College.

Nearby is the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, home to three prestigious National Parks: Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park, and Kings Canyon National Park.  If you prefer the ocean, Pismo Beach, Santa Cruz, and Monterey are only two to three hours west of Fresno by car.

If your idea of beautiful scenery runs more to forests of genealogy books instead of trees, then the Fresno County Public Library is the place for you to visit.  The California History and Genealogy Room has many thousands of volumes and also includes the extensive book collection of the Fresno County Genealogical Society and is now the home of many books from the former California State DAR Library.  Check the Fresno County Library's Catalogue which includes the holdings of libraries throughout most of DAR District V.  Be sure to explore these websites or come to the library in person for help with your research.

You can find more information about Fresno County and the surrounding area on the Fresno County website, or on Wikipedia's Information about Fresno County.
