Fort McIntosh DAR Chapter hosts inaugural garden tea party and fashion show The Fort McIntosh Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) hosted a Garden Tea Party fundraiser in July at the Beaver Station Cultural and Events Center in Beaver, something that they hope to make into an annual event. Guests donned period dresses, hats and gloves for an afternoon filled with delicious tea, treats and more. One highlight of the day was a historical “Fashion Through the Ages” fashion
show compliments of the Beaver County Historical Research and Landmarks Foundation. Nearly 30 volunteer models wore reproduction clothing from various eras. Outfits ranged from an Eastern Woodlands Native American from the 1750s up through original pattern dresses from the 1940s and ‘50s. Proceeds from the event benefit the Beaver Area Heritage Foundation, as well as local community programs and services of the
Fort McIntosh Chapter, the only DAR chapter in Beaver County. Fort McIntosh participates in a variety of historic preservation projects, contributes to schools and education programs, and pursues many patriotic endeavors, such as supporting veteran organizations and sponsoring special programs promoting the US Constitution.
