Declaration of Independence Day
- Patriot Monument Unveiling & Signing of Declaration
- Date: Sunday, August 2, 2026
- Time: 2–3 PM
Location: Chester War Memorial Building, 154 Main Street, Chester, SC 29706
Join us for the unveiling of a memorial honoring those from our county who gave their lives during the Revolutionary War. Through a special dedication ceremony, wreath laying, and honor guard presentation, we will pause to remember the sacrifices of those whose stories helped shape our nation.
As part of this commemoration, guests will have the opportunity to sign a replica of the Declaration of Independence—an experience that invites reflection on the choices and challenges faced during the Revolutionary era and reminds us that these stories are connected to people and places right here at home.
Following the memorial dedication, visitors are invited upstairs to the War Memorial Building where docents in period dress will help bring history to life while sharing biographies of the individuals honored on the Revolutionary War Memorial.
Be a part of it. Honor their stories, experience the history, and connect with the people who helped shape our community and our nation.
