The Syracuse Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution will be hosting its 120th Annual Heritage Luncheon on April 6, 2024, at the Drumlins Country Club.
This annual event is a social gathering of the members of various Heritage Societies, Historical Societies, Historians and Teachers. This provides an opportunity to honor the attendees' ancestors and discuss American History.
Members are expected to attend representing heritage and historical societies including the Mayflower Society, Children of the American Revolution, Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the American Revolution, Sons of the Revolution, Descendants of Washington's Army at Valley Forge, General Society of the War of 1812, Daughters of 1812, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War and many more.
The highlight of the event will be a presentation by Michael Brewster titled "Between Gannentaha and Clinton's Ditch". From the appearance of French Jesuits in the 1650s through the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, our history has been imposed into the land of Central New York. In his talk, Michael Brewster will examine how the creation of the Central New York Military Tract transformed not only our local area, but the young United States.
