Why did we create the 1620 Society?
Moving VDARE Foundation’s headquarters to the Berkeley Springs Castle in Berkeley Springs, WV created an opportunity to engage with our supporters like never before. At the same time, the egregious 1629 Project was making waves in the media. We put the two together and created a giving level that meets once a year at the Castle to honor America’s true and beautiful heritage.
