Welcome to The Colorado Society
Sons of the American Revolution
​
As President of the Colorado Society, Sons of the American Revolution, I extend to you a personal thank you for visiting our website. Our society was formed in 1889 and is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and teaching American history to future generations.
​
We are a male lineage society whose members can trace lineal descent to a man or woman who provided service in the war of independence. We are active in the community with our support for Eagle Scouts, ROTC, and our classroom activities, including the “Patriot Chest” presentation.
Our society fosters camaraderie among its members. If you would like to join our society or have other questions we would love to hear from you. I remain, humbly,
Yours to serve,
