The Culpeper Minutemen Chapter with other Virginia SAR Chapters recognized the African American Patriots and American Indians, noted to be ⅕ of the total Continental Army who fought in the Revolutionary War. The Minutemen Chapters of the DAR and SAR recognized those known African Americans and American Indians from this area. This Commemoration was held on Sat. Feb. 3, 2024 at the Carver Center 9432 N. James Madison Hwy. Rapidan, Va. 22733. The Event was held in the Auditorium at the former 4 Va. County Segregated High School. The names of those who fought from this area were discussed with the thoughts of how many traveled those halls of the former George Washington Carver Regional High School without an inkling of their families past. We now know of many, but there are still many more to be found. The Carver 4 - County Museum was open for viewing.
 1st Vice President Mike Weyler represented the Virginia SAR. |  Charles Jameson is the keynote speaker. |
