CELEBRATE
OUR PATRIOTS
The Sons of the Revolution (SR) was founded in 1876. Members of the Society of the Cincinnati, which restricted participation to a single male descendant, wanted to broaden participation and so formed the SR. The same mission – to promote knowledge and appreciation of the achievement of American independence and to foster fellowship – was continued.
Open to all sons of enlisted men, as well as officers, and descendants of other qualifying patriots, the General Society Sons of the Revolution was formed on April 19, 1890. Formed by the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania and New York Societies, an organization structure was created to allow for both local/state autonomy and national unity. The New York Society purchased, restored and still maintains Fraunces Tavern and Museum at 45 Pearl Street in New York.
Today, there are 28 societies, only one being allowed per state, within the United States and Europe designated as a 501(c) (3) nonprofit educational organizations. The General Society headquarters are in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Visit SR1776.org for details and other General Society information.
