The SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION are direct descendants of those patriots who achieved the independence of the American people. The purposes and objectives of the SAR are patriotic, historical, and educational. They perpetuate the memory of those who, by their services and sacrifices during the American Revolution, achieved the independence of the American people. We believe that our Revolutionary patriots' sacrifices were universal ones of man's eternal struggle against tyranny, relevant today, and will inspire and strengthen each succeeding generation as it too is called upon to defend our freedoms on the battlefield and in our public institutions.

The GOLD COUNTRY CHAPTER of the Sons of the American Revolution was incorporated as a California Chapter in 1924. The Chapter is active in educational and patriotic programs throughout the greater Sacramento and Sierra foothills area. In April 2010, the Gold Country Chapter was awarded the Best Large California Chapter for the fifth time in a row.
