History of the Carolina Gold Chapter, NSDAR…
The Carolina Gold Chapter, NSDAR, was chartered on December 5, 2015, in Murrells Inlet by a group of dynamic women who are descendants of American Patriots. Our community service and engagement can be found throughout the community while supporting education, veterans and local historic properties like Hopswee in nearby Georgetown, South Carolina.

In December 2023, Carolina Gold Chapter, NSDAR, members celebrated the 250th Anniversary of the Charles Town and Boston Tea parties with a luncheon and speaker. We shipped loose tea leaves to the Boston Tea Party and Ships Museum to use in the 12/16/23 reenactment, and we decorated the Christmas Tree at Hopsewee Plantation in Georgetown, South Carolina, with teacups and natural adornments.
Members volunteer as docents at Hopsewee Plantation, by decorating the home and tea house inside and out for the Christmas holidays. Hopsewee is often selected as a site for our annual National Day of Service.
Members volunteer as gardeners on a weekly basis at historic Belin Memorial United Methodist Church, once part of Wachesaw Plantation in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.

We constantly strive to make history come alive for everyone with interactive, educational chapter programs, often including field trips to explore our rich heritage.
Each June members help organize a Colonial Kids Camp in Georgetown, South Carolina, as well as organize an annual Carolina Day to teach the public about South Carolina’s importance in the American Revolution.
We work with a local home school group to provide historical enrichment programs.
