Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday
1776-2026


Spotlight on
our Woman Patriot!
Elinor Brewster Dunn
1754-1841











Three sisters, Elinor, Agnes, and Jeanette aided materially in the establishment of American independence. They worked day and night spinning and weaving and making clothes for the soldiers, cooking their meals, and moulding bullets. It was said their oven was never cold, and they melted all the silver in the house, including silver spoons to make bullets.

Brava to our woman patriots!
