Our chapter was excited to form our America 250! Committee in 2021. For our chapter project, we worked with our local community to place a commemorative marker and bench near the best-estimated site of the American Revolutionary War fort called Fort Preservation, located in the Ligonier Valley in Pennsylvania. Click here to learn all about our project.
On September 7, 2024, the Fort Preservation marker and bench was installed after three years of hard work and preparation!
