Based in Greenwood, the Chakchiuma Chapter works to perpetuate the memory and the spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence; to promote the development of an enlightened public opinion; and to foster patriotic citizenship—these are the objects of our Society, Daughters of the American Revolution.
The Chakchiuma Chapter DAR is proud to announce a $5,000 grant from the Mississippi Humanities Council for a free America 250 Celebration at historic Cotesworth Mansion on Saturday, April 25, 2026. The festival will feature living history, live music, children's activities, and special presentations. Planning is underway with multiple DAR chapters across the region, including Third Arrow, Thomas Rodney, and Grenada chapters.
Isaac Dallas, a homeschooled fifth grader, received a certificate and medal from the Chakchiuma Chapter DAR for his winning entry in the national American History Essay Contest. Susan Wellborn presented the award at the Greenwood Country Club. Isaac's essay now advances to the state-level competition, where it will be judged against entries from across Mississippi.
