The Isaac Van Wart Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (IVW DAR) celebrated their heritage with a beautiful DARAmerica250 float on June 7, 2026 at the Peony Festival Parade in Van Wert OH. DAR members can prove their lineage back 250 years to a family member who fought or otherwise served in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. Their float featured the National DAR official logo for the 250^th; the members dressed in “Continental” costumes or official chapter 250^th shirts; a DAR husband (HODAR) who built the float; a DAR husband (HODAR) who portrayed Isaac Van Wart in the parade; a DAR member who portrayed Betsy Ross sewing the first flag of the United States of America; an antique yarn spinner with a member rolling yarn; and the three recently acquired busts of American Revolutionary War Heroes John Paulding, David Williams and county/city namesake Isaac Van Wart. The busts are 3-D printed by permission of the John Henri Isaac Browere Collection, where the original bronze busts are housed in the Fenimore Museum in Cooperstown NY. The members enjoyed the parade, handed out flags, candy and patriotic items and were pleased to hear they won the Grand Marshall Choice Award. Photos were submitted by several IVW-DAR members.
