PURPOSE
The Sons of the Revolution is a hereditary patriotic society instituted to perpetuate the
memory of the men who, in the military, naval and civil service of the colonies and of
the Continental Congress, by their acts or counsel, achieved the Independence of the
country. We seek to promote the proper celebration of the anniversaries of the birthday
of Washington, and of prominent events connected with the War of the Revolution; to
collect and secure for preservation the rolls, records and other documents relating to
that period; to inspire the members of the Society with the patriotic spirit of their
forefathers; and to promote the feeling of friendship among them.
