The Sons of the Revolution in the State of California, Inc. was founded in
Los Angeles on May 8, 1893 and became duly incorporated under the laws of
California on May 15, 1893. The Society is tax exempt under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and gifts and bequests to it are tax
deductible for U. S. Income tax purposes.
For further details, contact the Society at 600 South Central Avenue, Glendale, California 91204, or by calling (818) 240-1775.
The purpose of the Society is to venerate those who served in the Revolutionary war, to keep alive the traditions engendered during and as a result of that conflict, to maintain the patriotic traditions of the United States of America, and to keep ever fresh the memory of individuals who served in that war through genealogical research into the heritage of those eligible for membership in the SR.
To facilitate the above, at its Glendale headquarters the Society maintains a genealogical research library, open to members and the public at no charge, and from time to time publishes a journal containing material relevant to its purpose, which is sent to members at no charge. Non-members may subscribe to this journal for a nominal sum as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Dr. Charles Witt, Jr., President Emeritus, said, “Our Society was founded to venerate those who served in the Revolutionary War, to keep alive the traditions engendered during and as a result of that conflict, to maintain the patriotic traditions of the United States of America, and to keep ever fresh the memory of individuals who served in that war through genealogical research into the heritage of those eligible for membership in the Society.”
The California Society was founded in 1893 and for these many ensuing years we have maintained a research library and museum of Revolutionary War artifacts and Americana in Glendale, California. The Society has provided these resources to the public at no charge. As you ‘surf’ through our web site, you will soon see the many benefits this library and museum bring to the communities in Southern California.
Our organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Society which is debt free. Hours of operation, however, are dependent upon kind people whose values align with ours in keeping the remembrance of those who sacrificed, many with their lives, to establish the greatest nation on earth, the United States of America.
I encourage you to consider bringing your family in to visit the American Heritage Library and Museum, located at 600 South Central Avenue, Glendale, California. Be sure to check the open hours with the calendar on this web site prior to coming. Also, I encourage those who are interesting in tracing their family lineage to use the library to see if they have relatives that fought in the Revolutionary War. A membership application is also available on the web site. Finally, for those who value keeping the history of those people, accounts, and events surrounding the Revolutionary War accurate and alive today, consider a gift to the Society so that we can fulfill our mission in making the library and museum accessible to all.
Sincerely,
Paul Gray, EdD
