Did you ever wonder who signed the Declaration of Independence and what happened to those brave 56 men? Or who were the American Generals during the Revolution? Listed are the names of those signers and generals and if you click on the names that are hot, it will take you to the Revolutionary Times broadsheet that has their bio and a picture. Add your chapter name at the bottom of the sheet, print them out and use them as handouts at your next meeting or public event. This list is a work in progress so come back often to see who has been updated.

The Oregon SAR has used the America 250 Minute programs for the last year as articles in our weekly E-newsletter the Oregon Patriot. What is nice about this program is that we send out to all our membersthis program which they can use for their own purposes.Included are 12 months’ worth of our programs that we have taken from our Revolutionary War Monthly Timeline 1765-1788. Take these as examples that you can use, or to add to for your own needs.

This program is number three in a series of workshops put on around the state of Oregon. Those interested in becoming a member of the SAR or DAR are invited to attend these workshops. At each session will be the Oregon State Registrar for the SAR and DAR with the goal to help you fill in your application for membership and assist in your search for documented sources.
The DAR Museum collection consists of tens of thousands of historic objects. Nearly all of these objects were owned by elite white Americans. Traditionally, these objects were used to tell elite white stories. But many of these objects were cared for by, made by, used by, or made from materials harvested by enslaved Black Americans. This critical program looks at chattel slavery in domestic spaces, and how an object as seemingly boring and benign as a lacquered tray reveals the real violence inherent in the American system of slavery.
This program serves two purposes: to demonstrate for students how to use online museum collections databases for historical research and how to use primary objects and secondary sources to develop evidence-backed interpretations of history and historic objects. This short research project covers a wide range of topics that look at historic commemorations of George Washington, women’s history and property ownership, and the resistance of Black Americans against chattel slavery.
The museum offers regular free lectures on the second Tuesday of every month. While offered live/virtual around noon, these lectures are often recorded and put up on YouTube.
These activities are intended to educate the youth about the history of one of the earliest events of the American Revolution.
The SAR sponsors several educational programs, including the SAR Annual Conference on the American Revolution, which is designed to facilitate university-level study of the American Revolution.
