It was a step back in time Saturday, May 11, at the Fountain Hills Community Center’s Centennial Circle when the Four Peaks Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) held an educational event on the Original Liberty Tree and the lead-up to the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding in 2026.
Four Peaks Chapter DAR was joined by the Barry M. Goldwater Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) who wore and spoke on their Revolutionary War era uniforms and accessories as part of the educational event.
Congress established the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission to prepare for the nation’s 250th birthday, and DAR chapters all over the world have already begun commemorating America 250 and will continue up to and including the big party July 4, 2026, according to a press release.
