A group of men who were descendants of American Revolutionary War veterans gathered to celebrate the <a href="/wiki/Centennial" title="Centennial">centennial</a> of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States. They also wanted to honor the men and women who pledged their lives, fortunes, and livelihood to the striving for independence from Great Britain. This group formed an organization called the Sons of Revolutionary War Sires. There is, however, no direct link between the Sons of Revolutionary War Sires and the Sons of the American Revolution except that members of the Sons of Revolutionary War Sires were permitted to join the Sons of the American Revolution after its founding in 1889. </p><p>The organization's founding can be traced to the Sons of the Revolution, a New York City society that was organized in 1876. Sons of the Revolution was founded by John Austin Stevens, who envisioned an aristocratic social and hereditary organization along the lines of the <a href="/wiki/Society_of_the_Cincinnati" title="Society of the Cincinnati">Society of the Cincinnati</a>. </p><p>In 1889, William O. McDowell, a New Jersey financier and businessman, organized the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the Revolution but was unwilling to accept the Sons of the Revolution's requirement that other state societies be subordinate to the New York society. McDowell also wanted the society to become more of a mass movement of descendants of Revolutionary patriots rather than an exclusive social club. </p><p>McDowell organized the Sons of the American Revolution at <a href="/wiki/Fraunces_Tavern" title="Fraunces Tavern">Fraunces Tavern</a> in New York City, on April 30, 1889, the same year as the centennial anniversary of the <a href="/wiki/First_inauguration_of_George_Washington" title="First inauguration of George Washington">first inauguration of George Washington</a> as the nation's first president in 1789. McDowell was the organization's first member.

The wreath symbolizes the laurel wreaths presented to worthy individuals by the Roman Republic.

The Knights of St. John, and other Crusaders, adopted the Maltese cross as their insignia because its eight points represented the eight Beatitudes prescribed in the Sermon on the Mount: blessed are (1) the poor in spirit, (2) the meek, (3) the pure, (4) the merciful, and (5) the peacemakers, (6) blessed are they that mourn, and (7) seek righteousness, and (8) blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake. </p><p>Surrounding the relief of Washington in the center are the words "LIBERTAS ET PATRIA", a reminder of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence" title="United States Declaration of Independence">United States Declaration of Independence</a> and the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Constitution" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Constitution">United States Constitution</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The insignia is normally worn suspended by a ribbon of blue, white and gold (buff) on the wearer's left breast.

The SAR is currently raising funds to finish the center's development.

The officers meet several times over the year to discuss business pertaining to the society. National Officers meet at least four times during their term of office, unless special meetings are called. Trustees meet twice annually at the society's headquarters in <a href="/wiki/Louisville,_Kentucky" title="Louisville, Kentucky">Louisville, Kentucky</a>. These meetings, known as the Fall and Spring Leadership Meetings, are normally held in late September and early March.

The National Congress is responsible for electing national officers and approving changes to the society's constitution, along with any other motions brought before it. </p><p>The organization also maintains over 60 standing and special committees that Sons of the American Revolution members are appointed to in order to oversee the society's welfare, including committees on facilities, insurance, genealogy, library, merchandise, medals, and awards. All members are welcome to participate on committees and are appointed by the society's president general for a one-year term. There are no term-limits and all committee members have the right to vote on the committee's decisions. </p><p>The current President General is Darryl Addington, M.D., North Carolina Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, who was sworn in as President General at the 134th National Congress in <a href="/wiki/Lancaster,_Pennsylvania" title="Lancaster, Pennsylvania">Lancaster, Pennsylvania</a>.

Materials were originally kept by the Secretary General or Registrar General up until 1926, when the materials were moved to the Registrar General's office in Washington, D.C., in 1927, this collection was moved to the recently purchased Sixteenth Street Headquarters Building, and the collection had grown to 914 books by 1933. From this point until the move of Headquarters from Washington, D.C., to Louisville, Kentucky, the book collection grew at a rapid pace, growing to approximately 25,000 items by 1988. At this point, the Library was on the Second floor of the Headquarters building on South Fourth Street, and possessed a 544-square-foot vault for books not out in the library due to space. </p><p>Because of continuing growth, the Sons of the American Revolution Library was moved in 2010 to a renovated building on West Main Street in the heart of the <a href="/wiki/West_Main_District,_Louisville" title="West Main District, Louisville">Historic Museum District</a> of <a href="/wiki/Downtown_Louisville" title="Downtown Louisville">downtown Louisville</a>. By this point, the Library collection had grown to over 58,000 items, mostly covering the Revolutionary War period, but also containing other genealogical materials.
