My Calendar

The next meeting of the Washington Crossing Chapter SAR will be held on May 14, 2022, from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm.

This will be our third SAR Application Workshop held at the historic 18th century building known as Summerseat at 130 Legion Avenue Morrisville, PA 19067. Do you have a patriot ancestor? Come join us for a 30-minute presentation, a question and answer session and a tour of historical Summerseat.

Summerseat served as General George Washington’s headquarters from Dec 8-14, 1776. It was at one time the home of Robert Morris and later George Clymer. Both men signed both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

The Summerseat website is Historic Summerseat
