April 22nd was a big day for the Baltimore Chapter DAR with the dedication of an America 250! plaque in Federal Hill Park. The weather cooperated and we were able to enjoy the sunny day. People across all organizations and agencies involved in this process attended.

The SAR Color Guard posted the colors accompanied by a fifer and drummer from Ft. McHenry.

We received greetings from Maryland State Regent Liz Deering. We heard remarks from Louise Devanney, co-chair of the MSSDAR America 250! Committee. Michael Lore, Deputy Secretary of State read a letter of greetings from Governor Wes Moore with a proclamation to follow.
We then dedicated the marker and unveiled it to the public. The event culminated with refreshments and conversations among attendees.

As you can see, there was a lot going on during our time in the park.

AND we even had TV coverage from WBAL
