Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence is an organization that was founded in 1884. Its members are direct descendants of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The organization's mission is to preserve and promote the legacy of the signers and to educate future generations about their contributions to American history.

Every year, the organization holds a meeting in Richmond, Virginia, where many of the signers lived and worked. The meeting is typically held in July, around the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Members gather to discuss the organization's activities and to celebrate their shared heritage.

During the meeting, members participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the graves of the signers who are buried in the Richmond area. They also visit historical sites and attend lectures on topics related to the signers and the American Revolution.

The organization is open to anyone who can prove that they are a direct descendant of one of the signers. It currently has over 2,500 members from all over the United States. The organization's archives contain a wealth of information about the signers and their families, including letters, diaries, and other historical documents.
