Deep BVI CCD photometry of dwarf galaxy DD0 210 obtained in this study shows that the resolved stellar population in this galaxy consists of a dominant old red giant population and some young stars. We have estimated the distance to this galaxy using the I-band magnitude of the tip of the red giant branch, obtaining a value of 1030±50 kpc. This result combined with the velocity of DDO 210 shows that DDO 210 is a member of the Local Group.
