Troy Memorial Day Parade. Monday, May 27, 2024
On Saturday June 8th, members of the Van Rensselaer chapter headed to the Saratoga National Historic Park and visited the ten stops on the 9-mile park tour road. New signs at each stop made this visit especially informative and thought provoking. Of special interest was the DAR Unknown American Soldiers Monument, with its accompanying sign featuring DAR founder Ellen Walworth. We’re looking forward to seeing the monument and surrounding area after our New York State Regent’s project is complete!
