The Idaho Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution

     Founded on April 30,1889, the National Society was incorporated by an act of Congress June 9, 1906, as a nonprofit, non-secret, non-political organization. It still is.

     Today the SAR consists of 50 State Societies, with more than 500 local or regional SAR Chapters. From inception, the SAR has been dedicated to patriotic, historical and educational objectives. These are reflected in every SAR activity - all designed and conducted to help perpetuate understanding of, reverence for and preservation of those institutions of American Freedom delineated in the Preamble of our Constitution and in the injunctions of George Washington in his farewell address to the citizens of the Republic he led in war and in peace.

     The charter for the Idaho Society is dated February, 1909. We currently have one active Chapter within the Idaho Society. The charter of the Fort Boise Chapter is dated 24 February, 1958.
