SARATOGA SPRINGS — A weeklong celebration of the Constitution - initiated by the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1955 – takes place Sept. 17-23 to commemorate the history of the U.S. Constitution, its importance, and to bring attention to how it serves still today.

The aims of the Constitution Week celebration are to: Emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution; Inform people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s heritage and a foundation for a way of life, and to encourage the study of historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787.

DAR’s petitioning of Congress in 1955 to set the week aside annually was signed into public law on Aug. 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The Saratoga chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution was formed Sept. 19, 1894, and meets monthly from September through June.
