Sept. 18-24, 2022 marks the 67th year the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will celebrate Constitution Week. To honor the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution, the Smith-McMillan Chapter of DAR will hold a Ringing of the Bells ceremony. We ring the bells to celebrate the signing of the Constitution. On Sept. 17, 1787, the delegates of the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution. As the delegates were leaving the Pennsylvania State House at 4 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time), the bells were rung to signify the signing of the Constitution. Constitution Week began in 1955 when the President General of the DAR, Gertrude S. Carroway, adopted a project to promote the observance of the U. S. Constitution with a memorial week beginning on the anniversary of the signing of this document, Sept. 17. The DAR petitioned the U.S. Congress to dedicate Sept. 17-23 of each year to the commemoration of Constitution Week. Congress adopted the resolution, and on Aug. 2, 1956, President Dwight D Eisenhower signed it into Public Law #915.
