Welcome to the Central Florida Chapter Sons of the American Revolution.

Celebrating 65 Years (1961 – 2026)

Welcome to the website of the Central Florida Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (CFLSAR). Our chapter is dedicated to preserving the memory of the heroes who fought for American independence and promoting patriotism in our community.

Our website features a photo gallery showcasing our chapter’s participation in various events and activities, including parades and flag ceremonies. Take a moment to browse through our photos and see the passion we have for our country’s history and traditions.

In addition to the photo gallery, our website offers an archive of past newsletters, which provide insight into the events and initiatives of our chapter. We encourage you to read through these newsletters and stay up to date on the work we do.
