Welcome to the Culpeper
Minute
Men Chapter web site of the Virginia Society, Sons of the American
Revolution!
The Compatriots of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter invite
you to join
our ranks as we strive to keep patriotism and the memory of our
Revolutionary War heritage burning in the hearts and minds of every
American, young and old.
The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter of
the Sons of the American Revolution is a lineage based organization
serving
the Virginia Piedmont of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, Greene, and
Rappahannock Counties.
The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution
was organized on April 30, 1889, the one hundredth anniversary of the
inauguration of George Washington as our nation’s first president.
The SAR was conceived as a fraternal and civic society
composed of lineal descendants of the patriots who wintered at Valley
Forge, signed the Declaration of Independence, fought in the battles of
the American Revolution, served in the Continental Congress, or
otherwise supported the cause of American Independence. The National
Society was chartered by an Act of the United States Congress on June
9, 1906. The charter was signed by President Theodore Roosevelt, who
was also a member of the Empire State Society, SAR. The charter
authorizes the granting of charters to societies of the various states
and territories and authorizes the state-level societies to charter
chapters within their borders.
If
you believe you may descend from a Revolutionary War Patriot who
supported the cause of American Independence and have an
interest in joining us, We would welcome you to one of our meetings. Drop us a note for more information.
