As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary of independence in 2026, The Veterans Memorial Museum is proud to partner with our local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) to honor the legacy of service, sacrifice, and patriotism that began in 1776 and continues today.
This Fourth of July, we come together not only to celebrate the birth of our nation, but also to recognize the generations of men and women who have defended the freedoms first declared in 1776. The DAR, an organization dedicated to preserving American history and promoting patriotism, shares our commitment to remembering those who helped secure and protect our independence.

This Fourth of July, we invite our community to join us in celebrating 250 years of American independence, honoring those who served, and recommitting ourselves to the ideals that continue to guide our great nation.
