Greetings, Cousins and Friends,
Come join us on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at the Nicholas Gibbs Homestead in remembrance of our common ancestor. The house will be open at 8:00 am with the meeting to begin at 11:00 am.
There will be "dinner on the ground" to follow. Bring a dish and plan on eating with us. Drinks and utensils will be provided. For newcomers, we have a covered pavilion and restrooms.
We will have an interesting speaker. We also have many souvenirs, the sales of which will be used to help maintain the house and grounds. Remember that the cabin is 233 years old and needs constant upkeep.
The Emory Road Chapter of the DAR applied for and received an America 250 Patriots Marker for Nicholas Gibbs. When it arrives in August, it will be prominently placed on the grounds of the homestead. This year of America's 250th birthday, come help us honor our own Revolutionary War veteran.
Dues are $30 for an individual membership and $50 for a family. All donations above that amount will be appreciated. Also remember us in your estate planning. We are a tax deductible 501(c)3 organization.
Send dues to:
Gail Lay
Dues may also be paid at the meeting.
The cabin is located at 7633 East Emory Road, Corryton, TN 37721. DO NOT send any correspondence to that address since there is no mailbox. If you have further questions, please contact:
