FORT MIMS CHAPTER

North Baldwin County, Alabama

The Fort Mims Chapter NSDAR was organized in 1949 under the leadership of Mrs. Carl Slaughter. The name was chosen in remembrance of Fort Mims, the site of the largest Indian massacre in American history.

 

Chapter Organizer

Organizing Regent
June Slaughter

Each fall our chapter participates in a memorial service to honor those who died on that fateful day, August 30, 1813. For years nothing visible marked the location of Fort Mims. Our chapter placed two previous markers in 1959, and in 1998 dedicated a new marble monument at the historic site.

Historic Fort Mims is located off Highway 59 in Tensaw, Alabama. Several chapter members serve on the Board of Directors of the Fort Mims Restoration Association promoting public awareness, education, and restoration of the site and an annual commemorative event.

Regular chapter meetings are held at 2:30 p.m. the third Thursday in each month starting with September and ending with the May meeting, unless otherwise indicated.

On August 26 and 27, the chapter will participate in the Annual Commemorative Event at historic Ft. Mims. This will include leading the memorial service as well as supporting many of the other activities. Pictured in period costume are members Marilyn Davidson, June Slaughter, and Claudia Campbell.
