Mount Lookout Chapter, NSDAR

10/12/2026

Fall 2026 is starting out with a bang for Mount Lookout. In September, our very own Emma Braun Gidley entertained us with her program on "The Remarkably Average Life of Millard Fillmore" and why it is okay to be average. We agree with Emma that yes, he did look like Alec Baldwin!

Last Saturday, Susie Weart Doctor Susan Anderson Chapter, gave us an engaging program on Education During Colonial Times. I think we all want to buy a "Shut the Box" for our kiddos, and we now know the true history behind a dunce hat! We inducted our newest member, and for DAR Day of Service, we collected over 1,800 items for the Rocky Mountain Fisher House wish list and wrote 200 Christmas cards for deployed Veterans through the USO. We're looking forward to our November meeting, where we'll hear about the Honors Burial Program. Please join us!

Labor Day in the United States is fundamentally a tribute to American workers—the people whose labor, skills, ingenuity, and determination helped build the country and continue to keep it running. So while today we often think of Labor Day as the unofficial end of summer, its deeper meaning is pretty simple: America was built—and continues to be built—by people who work and have worked. Enjoy your well-earned break from work.

Happy 150th Birthday, Colorado! The Mount Lookout Daughters are proudly continuing our Semiquincentennial celebrations—honoring both Colorado 150 and America 250.

Last weekend, our chapter joined the annual Golden Buffalo Bill Days Parade in full patriotic cowgirl spirit. A special thank‑you to America250! State Chair Allie Golon for lending us the Traveling DAR Museum America250! pop‑up display.

On Flag Day, we visited the Golden History Museum to witness the unfurling of the remarkable 12' x 24' 38‑star American flag. First discovered in 1883 and later rediscovered in the museum archives by Mount Lookout Daughter Jan Strand, this extraordinary flag remains a powerful symbol of our nation’s enduring story.
