Patriots’ Day with Drum Hill Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution: Get Colonial!

Saturday, April 17, 2021, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., come “Get Colonial” with DAR! You may see DAR members around town in colonial dress handing out flags. Feel free to put on your colonial dress to support our revolutionary patriots! Wilton Garden Club will be celebrating Daffodil Festival and we have partnered with them, so you might see us around the Wilton Historical Society dressed up as well! Wilton Library will display books on patriots, as well as books on the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

Patriots’ Day, the third Monday in the Month of April commemorates the Battles of Lexington and Concord, also known as the “shots heard round the world.” Massachusetts observes Patriots’ Day with the running of the Boston Marathon. Other states observing Patriots’ Day include Maine, Wisconsin, Connecticut (2018), North Dakota (2019), and Florida. As America leads up to her 250th birthday in 2026, Drum Hill DAR is launching a Patriots’ Day Initiative. We have many fun and some solemn activities planned. We hope you will join us!
