In September, the Owasco Chapter of NSDAR was fortunate enough to enjoy a program about Willard Chapel, presented by staff person Marcia Walsh. Many of our members have enjoyed visiting the chapel, and Walsh shared some interesting information we had not heard before.
A few weeks later, on a research trip as Town of Scipio historian, I chanced across some more information about Willard Chapel at the New York State Library in Albany. It was interesting to begin to see that this historic building had held a prominent place in Auburn, as well as in the larger world community.
Several Daughters were among the crowd of more than 100 people who watched a documentary on the chapel Nov. 23rd that so clearly tells the story of those individuals dedicated to creating and preserving this piece of our rich American heritage. We believe this documentary will focus attention on this treasure in such a way that it will encourage increased public support and appreciation for our local cultural history.
At the conclusion of the documentary, the Owasco Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution presented the film's creator and Auburn native Jason Roche with a local Media Certificate of Award for creating “The Tiffany Treasure that Touched the World” documentary.
We feel strongly that accomplishments such as this merit our focused attention and recognition for a job well done. We also will nominate this documentary for a state as well as a national level DAR Media Award.
Roche is indeed a credit to his hometown.
The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote patriotism, preserve American history and support better education for our nation's children.
Its members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. With more than 168,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world's largest and most active service organizations.
Owasco Chapter NSDAR, based in Auburn, was organized in 1897. We currently have 77 members and meet eight times during the year.
