Americanism Poster Contest

The youth programs sponsored by the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution include an elementary school poster contest to stimulate interest in American History and support fifth grade US History curriculums. Each year the poster topic is changed to recognize a person or event of significance during the American Revolution.
