SAR Trip Honoring England and Bermuda

Join the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution for an unforgettable international journey in 2026 as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence with a once-in-a-lifetime experience abroad.

Led by SAR President General Mike Elston, this year’s Annual International Trip will take members to the United Kingdom and Bermuda, exploring historic locations deeply connected to the Founders of our nation and the global story of the American Revolution.

In the United Kingdom, participants will visit significant historic sites tied to America’s founding era. A highlight of the trip includes a special visit to Highclere Castle—world-famous as the home of Downton Abbey—where the current owner of the estate will be formally sworn in as a member of the SAR.

The journey then continues to Bermuda, where attendees will explore the history of the Bermuda Gunpowder Plot, a key but often overlooked event in Revolutionary War history. Guests will also have time to enjoy Bermuda’s renowned pink sand beaches and island hospitality.

This international trip offers a unique blend of history, fellowship, commemoration, and travel in celebration of America 250.
