The American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati

The American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati promotes knowledge and appreciation of the achievement of American independence, fulfilling the aim of the Continental Army officers who founded the Society of the Cincinnati in 1783 to perpetuate the memory of that vast event. The Institute supports advanced study, presents exhibitions and other public programs, advocates preservation and provides resources to teachers and students to enrich understanding of our War for Independence and the principles of the men and women who secured the liberty of the American people. Since 1938 the Society has been headquartered in Washington, D.C., at Anderson House, a 1905 Neoclassical mansion and National Historic Landmark.
