The SAR Promotes Revolutionary War History And Patriotism The Sons of the American Revolution was started by a group of men who, after the 1876 Centennial, thought it would be appropriate to document and record the stories of their Revolutionary War ancestors and the events in which they were involved. These efforts lead to the establishment of an organization with goals to foster Patriotism, perpetuate our American Heritage, and retain and expand historical records of the American Revolution. In keeping with these objectives, the Sons of the American Revolution sponsors projects to bring about an awareness of the American Revolutionary spirit and a sense of patriotism to students in our educational system. The scholarship programs & contest shown below are intended to add interest in the American Revolution. The 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.

If chapter members would like to champion one of the other SAR contest, like the Elementary Poster contest or the Middle School Brochure contest, please use the Contact page. |

One of the most enjoyable methods of communicating our American history with school children is via the "Traveling Trunk".
This is a program where members of the SAR, dressed in authentic uniforms, present articles from the Revolutionary War & Colonial period to a group of
grade school (4th) or middle school (7th) students. Presenters explain what the items are, how they were made and used, and why they are different from today's items.
This program is an excellent way for fulfilling one of our SAR society missions - Assisting schools and teachers to sustain and preserve our history. To arrange a presentation at your school, use the Contact link at the bottom of the page.
