Culpeper Minute Men Chapter SAR

The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter SAR was chartered in September 20, 1974 and is one of eight chapters in the Northern Region. Our chapter draws its membership from Central Piedmont area including Culpeper County and portions of eastern Madison County and northern Orange County. Our membership is open to any male descendant who can prove lineal descent from someone who aided in the American Revolutionary War.

In addition to its ongoing community work, the chapter played a leading role in the installation of the Great Bridge Marshall Memorial (HMDB.org), honoring the legacy of Colonel Thomas Marshall and the Culpeper Minute Men who served with distinction during the Revolutionary War. Working in partnership with local historians and preservation groups, the chapter and the Virginia SAR Knight–Patty Fund helped bring this memorial to completion as a lasting tribute to the patriots who fought at Great Bridge and contributed to America’s early struggle for independence.

In recent years, our chapter has won proudly five President General's Education Outreach Award and Streamers (2018–2021, 2023) for our strong support of youth and education programs in area communities.
