SONS OF THE REVOLUTION IN THE STATE

SONS OF THE REVOLUTION IN THE STATE Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. Our Society is made up of descendants of those who fought for American Independence.Since 1883, our members have kept before the public mind the memory of the services of their ancestors, the times in which they lived, and the principles for which they contended.Each year we commemorate historically significant events, including the anniversaries of George Washington’s Birthday, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and the Evacuation of New York by the British Army. Our Society also places and maintains historical markers at significant sites from the Revolutionary Era throughout New York City. Our most notable philanthropic and educational contribution to New York’s landscape is the preservation of 54 Pearl Street, one of the City’s oldest standing structures, and home to Fraunces Tavern, one of the most important taverns of the American Revolutionary War.
