Attached please find the current information on “The 246th Weekend Commemoration of The Battle of Shallow Ford”!

This one will be special as the Battle of Shallow Ford Chapter NSDAR won an “America 250! Grant” from DAR National to help the Bethabara Chapter NSSAR with the weekend plans!

The Lewisville Area Arts Council is coordinating all the organizations: (Bethabara Chapter SAR, Battle of Shallow Ford Chapter, NSDAR, Huntsville Baptist Church, Yadkin Arts Council / Welborn Gallery and more TBA!)

We are now taking lunch reservations for an event that was SOLD OUT last year! The 2026 luncheon menu will have even more items than last year and promises to be absolutely delicious! We would like to thank Pat Duffy and her team at Huntsville Baptist Church in advance for planning the luncheon and for being such great folks with which to work!

We would also like to thank:
- Fred Learned, President Bethabara Chapter, NSSAR for planning the annual Commemoration Ceremony
-Amy Goodman, Regent, Battle of Shallow Ford, NSDAR, for her dedicated work
- Yadkin Arts Council for selecting us for one of their six shows for 2026 and for the 3 September Reception from 5-7 PM and helping us coordinate the 9 October Reception also 5-7 PM that opens the 246th Weekend!

Thank you Forsyth Co Public Library and specifically the Lewisville Branch Library for hosting “The Battle of Shallow Ford: An Exhibition of Words and Watercolors” during June and July 2026! It was a very successful event with multiple other events (Lewisville Historical Society general meeting and lecture on the Exhibition by Marilyn Ingram and Rick Jones and America 250 program by the library, see flyer!)

Here is a reel from that event and the poster. The sound from the reel was not available to download, so we include the link here:
