MDSSAR Bus Trip to NY for Battle Week

 

 

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

August is Maryland 400 Month.

MDSSAR Making trip to NY

 

Come join the Maryland Sons of the American Revolution as we travel to New York to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Long Island. It was August 27th, 1776, when Washington asked the Maryland 400 to stand against the thousands of British as the rest of their comrades escaped across the river. If not for their brave defense against overwhelming numbers, the cause might have been lost before it began.
