Charlestown Society Children 

Welcome to the Charlestown Society, Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.). We are a patriotic, youth-led organization dedicated to learning American history, honoring our veterans, and training the leaders of tomorrow.

Our members—ranging from birth to age 22—are direct descendants of the brave patriots who fought for or aided the cause of American independence. Through community service, leadership opportunities, and educational activities, we bring history to life right here in our community.

Join Us in Service and Patriotism

The Charlestown Society gives young people a chance to make a real difference while building skills that last a lifetime. Our activities focus on three main pillars:

• Patriotism: Supporting active-duty military, honoring local veterans, and participating in community commemorations.

• 📜 History: Exploring the rich revolutionary heritage of our region and preserving the memory of our ancestors.

• 🛠️ Leadership: Empowering youth members to run business meetings, hold society offices, and organize service projects.

Supported by Our Heritage Family

While our meetings and projects are conducted by our youth members, we operate under the guidance of dedicated adult Senior Leaders. We are proud to work closely with our local sponsoring chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR). Together, we help the next generation discover the pride of preserving American liberty.
