Dating back to the founding of our Society, we strive to perpetuate the beliefs of our founding fathers and the sentiments of the American Revolution. Consequently, in 1902 our Society’s board authorized the payment of one $25.00 gold piece to an individual with the best essay on a Revolutionary Topic.
This practice continues today with annual awards to three students for essays that include research and opinion on Revolutionary topics.
