NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) – As we come up on the 250th birthday of the United States, local groups are celebrating.
The Sons of the American Revolution are men who are descendants of soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War.
They were teaching people about the Skunk Brigade on Saturday and the different hats that were worn to show factions.

“Living history for people who might have never seen how our patriots lived 250 years ago. different types of hats. We have different types of skins. They would use skins as part of their clothing. They’re used for skins for the hat, the shoes, the shirts,” said Lee Herron, president of Bryce Creek Chapter of the American Revolution.
We’re also counting down the days until the 250th birthday of the founding of the United States.
Each weekday, we take a look back in history.
