Tennessee Society,

NSDAR

The Tennessee Society DAR focuses on working towards our goals of historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Our members document, restore, and mark Revolutionary War Patriot gravesites and help maintain cemeteries across the state. Educating our youth is a priority, and we support students through scholarships, essay contests, and awards. We show our patriotic spirit by volunteering many hours to veterans, supporting America’s military through care packages, and participating in naturalization ceremonies.

These are just a few of the ways that engage in our communities. I encourage you to see what your local chapters are doing and join us as put our volunteer hearts in action!

The #TNSocietyDAR honored the conservation efforts of the 1941 TSDAR members with a DAR Historical Marker. Their 34-acre Memorial Forest was planted in the Cherokee National Forest to help with reforestation. The Tennessee Society is continuing our legacy of conservation by donating 10,000 trees to the National Forest Foundation. State Regent Emily Robinson, State Organizing Secretary Dianna Callaway, honorary state regents, state officers, and TSDAR members attended the marker ceremony. Each attendee was given a pine tree sapling to plant in honor of the Penny Pines project! #todaysdar #EarthDay #todaysdar #VolunteerHeartsInAction ... See MoreSee Less

#America250 Today is the 250th anniversary of the Gunpowder Incident, an early conflict between Lord Dunmore, the Royal Governor of the Colony of Virginia, and the Virginia militia. Lord Dunmore ordered the gunpowder stored in the powder magazine in Williamsburg to be removed to a waiting ship in the James River. While the removal was underway, residents of Williamsburg alerted the local militia. The angry crowd was temporarily appeased by Peyton Randolph, Speaker of the House of Burgesses, and Dunmore promised to return the powder eventually. However, Dunmore never recovered politically from this incident, and he fled the colony altogether in mid 1776. #todaysdar #americanrevolution #RevolutionaryWar #TNSocietyDAR ... See MoreSee Less
