The Old Three Notch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is proud to announce the re-launch of their “Freedom Hydrants” initiative.

This innovative community program invites local businesses, individuals, and organizations to sponsor the painting of fire hydrants throughout the community in patriotic themes, transforming ordinary fixtures into symbols of national pride and local unity.

Each sponsored fire hydrant will be artistically painted in a red, white, and blue design, capturing the spirit of American heritage and freedom. The project aims to not only beautify the community but also serve as a daily reminder of the values and sacrifices that built our nation.

“We wanted to find a unique way to celebrate our community’s connection to American history and honor the sacrifices of those who have served our country,” said Carol Ann Mullins, Chapter Regent of the Old Three Notch DAR. “The Freedom Hydrants program allows local sponsors to become a part of that legacy and contribute to the vibrancy of our neighborhood.”

Each sponsor has the opportunity to select a hydrant location. They can see the hydrant become a symbol of patriotism for everyone who passes by.

Local businesses, organizations, and individuals who wish to sponsor a Freedom Hydrant can contact Barbara Clark at 251-591-6550 or Carol Ann Mullins (912-312-6628) with the Old Three Notch DAR for more information. Forms and remittance may be dropped off at Bass Real  Estate Agency, 101 Northside Office Pk, Andalusia.

This project is more than just painting hydrants, “It’s about bringing our community together, honoring our history, and fostering a sense of pride in our neighborhood.”

The Old Three Notch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and supporting education within the community. The chapter regularly engages in community service projects and educational programs that highlight the rich heritage of the United States.
