On Friday, July 11, Kings Mountain Chapter members Ben Stonecypher (State VP & Chapter President) and Dave Carr (Region 1 Director) represented the Tennessee Society Sons of the American Revolution (TNSSAR) at the TN250 Teacher’s Institute Seminar, held by invitation at Sycamore Shoals State Park.
They set up an information table featuring SAR Youth Programs and promoted the SAR History Teacher of the Year award. Most attendees, including educators and event sponsors, were unfamiliar with these opportunities, making the outreach especially impactful.
Ben and Dave also introduced the Patriot's Chest Program - an educational initiative where SAR members visit classrooms in period dress to deliver engaging first-person presentations on the American Revolution.
This event is part of TNSSAR's ongoing commitment to educational outreach.
