Our April program featured a presentation by Robert Guy and four other Sons of the American Revolution entitled Hands On History: America 250 Years Ago. We learned about the grievances which led to the Bill of Rights and about the tensions in communities and families over taking sides, Loyalist or Patriot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new Secretary and a new Treasurer were elected to the Board at the March 2026 meeting. Welcome Carole Taylor and Ron Springsteen! And a big thank you for stepping up to serve our society!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first quarter of 2026, members of our group performed genealogical research on the William H. Reynolds family who homesteaded in Parker in the 1880’s. This was a special project that we were invited to participate in. It was a pleasure to provide the current owner of the homestead with information about the family that lived there over 100 years ago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
