Preparing for America’s 250^th Birthday Celebrations

The celebration extends through 2023 and plans include celebrating the 250^th anniversary of all events associated with our nation’s quest for independence from the Boston Tea Party of 1773 (e.g., 2023) through the Treaty of Paris in 1783 (e.g., 2033).

The NSDAR America 250! Committee publishes the Patriot Post a quarterly newsletter called the Patriot Post. The Patriot Post can be found as one of the blue links on the right side of the NSDAR America 250! Committee webpage. https://www.dar.org/members/committees/patriot-post-newsletter

This newsletter highlights ways chapters have made individual Revolutionary War Patriots come alive within their own chapters and communities. These ideas can spark ideas within your own chapter and community to recognize Revolutionary War patriots.
The public ISDAR website has a new public webpage where Patriot Stories can be posted! The link Stories of our Patriot Ancestors is in the banner header. It is designed to house the experiences of our forebears. Patriots acted to create and found our country. These Patriot Stories seek to honor and remember the Patriots' contributions (military, civil or public).

The Iowa America 250! Committee encourages Iowa Daughters to share the efforts of their Patriots in the American Revolution, April 19, 1775 - November 26, 1783. In this manner we can then let others know what it took to affect the Revolution and start a new country.

Guidelines for Patriot Story submissions are posted below in Resources and on the new public webpage.
Through our DAR activities and service, we can inspire our members and our communities by discovering, remembering, and sharing the stories of our Patriot ancestors as we celebrate America 250!
