At the Darnestown Civic Association (DCA), our mission is to protect, promote, and enhance the quality of life in Darnestown by fostering a strong sense of community, supporting civic participation, and preserving the unique character of our town.

We believe Darnestown works best when everyone has a voice. That’s why we are committed to creating a space where residents can engage, ask questions, and advocate for themselves on the issues that matter most to them.

As a community-focused organization, the DCA generally does not take positions on controversial or divisive issues, allowing us to serve as a neutral and inclusive platform for all perspectives. Our role is to inform, connect, and empower—not to decide for the community, but to help neighbors navigate and engage with the decisions being made.

Through community events, resources, and open dialogue, we:

• Connect residents with local officials and decision-makers

• Share timely and relevant information via newsletters, alerts, and meetings

• Host events that build community spirit and celebrate our shared traditions

• Encourage respectful discussion and involvement across a wide range of views

• Welcome and include all neighbors—longtime locals and new arrivals alike

Darnestown is more than a place to live—it’s a place to belong, contribute, and thrive. The DCA is here to support that vision, and we invite you to join us in keeping our community strong, connected, and informed.
