Representatives of the SAR, DAR and CAR gathered in Halifax, NC, on April 14th, 2007 to commemorate the Adoption of the Halifax Resolves, which took place April 12th, 1776. The weather threatened rain but it turned out to be a beautiful spring day. Wreaths were placed at the site of the old colonial courthouse, where the Resolves were adopted, and a SAR Patriot grave marker was placed at the grave of Abraham Hodge, printer to Washington's army. Later, representatives of the Grand Lodge of Masons of NC placed a 'Masonic Hero' marker at Hodge's grave, as he was also a prominent Freemason in his day, with appropriate Masonic ceremony.
