On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond. In this presentation, representatives from the Bitter Root Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will lead a genealogy program exploring how to trace family history, uncover ancestral stories, and better understand the records that connect us to the past.
