Meet The
Sons of the
American Revolution
The SAR, is the largest male lineage organization in the U.S., consisting of 50 societies with more than 500 local chapters, several international societies and over 34,000 members. SAR is dedicated to assisting our members, schools, teachers, and the general public in their efforts to sustain and preserve our history and constitutional principles.
The SAR is a non political, patriotic educational 501c3 organization of men who have ancestors who fought for, or otherwise supported the War for Independence from Great Britain that established the United States of America
Why Join SAR?
Maecenas
Make the dream of our patriot ancestors a reality. Membership is open to any male (no age limit) who can prove direct descent from a man or woman who contributed to our country’s freedom from Great Britain. A patriot did not necessarily have to serve in the military, but might have supported the Revolution by paying a supply tax, providing food for troops, serving as a juror, or being a local public servant.
You will need to document your lineage back to the qualifying ancestor. Acceptable sources for proof are vital records, census records, probate records, wills, family Bibles, and letters. Our local chapter registrar will help you locate the proof of service.
