A longtime Butler fixture celebrated 100 years of service, community and history Saturday.

The General Richard Butler chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) held its “100+1th Anniversary” celebration at Butler Country Club with a luncheon, historical presentations and ceremony to round out the afternoon.

During the luncheon, members and friends of the organization participated in skits portraying figures from Revolutionary War history, women's history and the history of the DAR.

The county commissioners declared Saturday to be “General Richard Butler, NSDAR Day” in honor of the group's anniversary.

“(We) extend sincere gratitude to its officers and members, past and present, for their accomplishments, commitment, and dedication to the County of Butler and its residents,” the board wrote.
