T he Society of Colonial Wars was founded 'to perpetuate the memory of those events (of Colonial History which took place from May 13, 1607 to April 19, 1775) and of the men' in military and civil positions who assisted in the establishment and preservation of the American Colonies, and who were in truth founders of our Nation.

The Society of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is an organization that is dedicated to the preservation of Pennsylvania’s colonial history prior to the Revolutionary War. Our goal is to be a vibrant, purposeful society that enjoys congenial fellowship, but also to be a leader in educating Americans about Pennsylvania’s colonial history and the key role that Pennsylvanians played in the formation of the United States. We want to ensure that Americans understand we are who we are in large measure because of our colonial history.

By continuing to engage in preserving and sharing our colonial history as well as the role our ancestors played in forging what would become our nation, we seek to perpetuate understanding of the events and the people that were instrumental in its creation.
