America 250!
Much like the Bicentennial celebration of 1976, Americans will celebrate the birth of our nation in the year 2026. The Daughters of the American Revolution are leading the way in planning meaningful projects and events for the Semiquincentennnial.
The Issaqueena Chapter, NSDAR, works closely with local organizations, musems, historical sites, history professors, and community leaders in Greenwood County to plan events and programs that celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary.

As part of celebrating America 250, the Issaqueena Chapter transformed a fruit and vegetable farmer's market into a colonial-themed experience that gave visitors the unique opportunity
to step back in time and gain a deeper understanding of our heritage.
The Revolutionary Times Market offered activities for children and showcased musicians, blacksmiths, woodworkers and quilters. The event was free and open to the community.
2023 Charleston Tea Party
On December 3 the Issaqueena Chapter commemorated a lesser-known rebellion in American history: the Charleston Tea Party of 1773.
