DAR Elves at Longwood Estate decorate tree

The tree is ready for The Town of Brookhaven Santa's visit on Dec. 1

Col.Josiah Smith Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) ladies were busy as elves as they decorated the tree in the parlor of Longwood Estate in Ridge. Santa will visit on Saturday December 1st- bring your children! This historic home from the Revolutionary War days is a hidden country gem. Once you enter the lovely hallway, you will step back in time! Learn why it was established! What music prevailed here. What toys did the children in this home enjoy? And, find the amazing village display set up by local Town of Brookhaven Curator Diane Schwindt.

The DAR ladies are descendants of Revolutionary War patriots. There are women patriots too! Not all patriots fought as a soldier or officer. Some provided goods. Some paid taxes. All contributed to the forming of the United States of America. Do you think you may be a descendant too? Today we work to support God, Home, and Country. We support our local community. We support our Service Members and Veterans. We hope to hear from you! Contact Joan Nathan at darsamuelprice@gmail.com
