Historical Note

In 1876, there were many celebrations to commemorate the centennial of the signing of the Declarationof Independence on July 4, 1776. As a part of this patriotic observance, a group of descendants of patriotsin the American Revolution in the San Francisco, California, area formed an organization known as theSons of Revolutionary Sires. The main objective of this fraternal and civic society was to salute thosemen and women who pledged their lives, money, and sacred honor to the battle for independence fromGreat Britain. They wanted to keep their ancestors’ stories of patriotism and courage alive in the beliefthat man’s struggle against tyranny is universal and their stories would inspire and sustain succeedinggenerations.

On April 30, 1889, the Sons of Revolution Sires became the National Society of the Sons of the AmericanRevolution—the 100th anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington as the nation’s firstpresident. The SAR is as a fraternal society composed of lineal descendants of the men who winteredat Valley Forge, signed the Declaration of Independence, fought in battles of the American Revolution,served in Continental Congress, or supported the cause of American Independence in any way. Congresspassed a charter establishing the National Society on June 9, 1906. President Theodore Roosevelt, amember of the SAR, signed the original charter.

The Continental Chapter of the SAR of Muncie, Indiana was established to honor the AmericanRevolutionary patriots from Delaware County. The group’s motto is "Libertas et Patria," meaning"Liberty and Patriotism."

Scope and Contents

This collection includes photographs, records, correspondence, and publications from Sons of theAmerican Revolution in Muncie, Indiana, as well as the Indiana Society and the National Organizationranging from 1914 until 2012 regarding the branches of the SAR organization.
