The Society of the Cincinnati is the nation’s oldest patriotic organization, founded in 1783 by officers of the Continental Army who served together in the War of the American Revolution. These men and their French counterparts sought to support the families of those officers killed and wounded during the long conflict with Great Britain. Learn from the organization’s Historical Programs Manager, Andrew Outten, about its modern mission to promote knowledge and appreciation of the achievement of American independence.
