Welcome to the Elisha Raymond Chapter website!

Our Chapter meets every other month, beginning in September and on into May. There are no meetings during the three summer months. The September and May meetings are normally held on the first Tuesday evening, while the November, January and March meetings are Saturday lunches. All meetings are held at the Driftwood Restaurant on Hwy. 11, Sturtevant, and are open to wives, other family members and guests.

Our Chapter assists in placing State Historical Markers at those cemeteries where Revolutionary War veterans are buried. Other activities include appearances at community events and activities, sharing the story of sacrifice and service of our Revolutionary War ancestors. We recognize this tradition of service by making awards to Eagle Scouts, ROTC Cadets and several outstanding citizens each year.

We look forward to seeing you soon. Please feel free to contact one of our officers for further information on the SAR and the Elisha Raymond Chapter. Membership inquiries may be directed to the Chapter Vice President.

An article about our namesake, Elisha Raymond, a Revolutionary War Patriot who served in Rhode Island, later moved to the Wisconsin Territory, and is buried in Racine County.

Raymond Chapter Officers were recently elected.
