The Rising Families of America have been reuniting for 147 years throughout the United States and Canada. These gatherings are considered to be one of the oldest family reunion customs in the United States. Our yearly tradition signifies the importance of unity within our association and preserves our heritage, rich in history, tracing back to 1704 in Historic Deerfield. Our association continues to grow and flourish through the benefits of technology. These benefits reinforce our efforts to connect, educate, and raise awareness so we may continue to preserve our traditions and our heritage for years to come.
