The American Revolution is one of the most important events in human history. We went from being subjects to citizens, and set in motion democratic revolutions around the globe. It’s a great story – and hugely relevant to today. I hope you can watch. On PBS starting Nov. 16.

On October 25, 1774, fifty-one brave women in Edenton, North Carolina, gathered for what became known as the Edenton Tea Party, one of the first organized political actions by women in America. 💪

While the men were taking up arms, these women took up principle - publicly pledging to boycott British goods in defiance of unjust taxes. Their boldness shocked the world and inspired a new spirit of independence.

Today, members of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) honor the legacy of these remarkable patriots by continuing their mission: promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism in our communities. 🌟

So raise a cup - not just in remembrance of tea, but in celebration of the women who steeped America’s earliest taste of freedom. 🍵✨

DAR proudly joins our nation in celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy! Established on October 13, 1775, the U.S. Navy has safeguarded our freedoms, protected our shores, and exemplified courage, honor, and commitment for two and a half centuries.

As part of the DAR’s ongoing efforts to celebrate the upcoming Semiquincentennial of the the United States, we are honored to support the Homecoming 250 Navy Marine Corps initiative—commemorating the founding and proud traditions of our nation’s great military institutions that played a pivotal role in securing American independence.

DAR was proud to contribute $250k in 2023 to support this effort, that honors the service and sacrifice of those who have defended our nation for 250 years.
