America 250!
In July 2026, the United States will mark its 250th anniversary and our DAR Chapter, the Mahanatawny Chapter headquartered in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, is preparing to celebrated this momentous event. Below are some of the things we have done to prepare for this celebration.
American Revolution Experience Exhibit–March 2024
The countdown is on to the 250th anniversary of the War for Independence. To commemorate this occasion, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Battlefield Trust have partnered to bring a special traveling exhibit, the American Revolution Experience to towns across America and yes that now includes Pottstown!
The traveling exhibit includes 12 panels highlighting thematic connections between profiled individuals and three interactive kiosks that connect to the full digital biographies, provide documentary context on the Revolutionary War and offer information on how to visit the places tied to these individuals today. Both online and on-site, the American Revolution Experience features custom illustrations by South Carolina-based artist Dale Watson. The exhibit also draws from documents and objects in DAR’s collection as well as the Trust’s industry leading digital interpretation resources.
