About the Granby Chapter, NSDAR

The Granby Chapter, NSDAR, was organized on February 1, 1973, in Lexington, with Organizing Regent Mrs. Nancy Fox. The chapter was named for the once flourishing village of Granby, the county seat of Lexington (circa 1785 to 1818). The community of Granby consisted of a courthouse and jail, the first bridge over the Congaree River, two early forts and several trading posts, a ferry, a mill, a blacksmith shop and a coachmaking shop.

  • The Granby Chapter, NSDAR, is dedicated to educating the children of Lexington County regarding our rich history and battle for independence. We go into classrooms for Constitution Week programs. Additionally, our chapter offers educational materials to our main county library branch to promote historical education for all ages.

    We encourage local schools and classrooms to participate in NSDAR American History Essay Contests each year. We demonstrate to educators and teaching professionals how to use the NSDAR website to assist with historically rich lesson plans.

  • Our chapter also supports and helps organize local holiday activities for veterans that center around Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Veterans Day.
