The purposes of the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution are patriotic, historical and educational. Its object is to perpetuate the memory of individuals who, by their services or sacrifices during the war of the American Revolution, achieved the independence of the American people.

The Virginia Society sponsors events throughout the year, including: oratory and essay contests for young people: awards programs honoring educators, and law enforcement and fire safety personnel; and ceremonies honoring the patriots of the Revolution and the battles in which they fought.

Our Rockbridge Volunteers Chapter owes its heritage to the Rockbridge Militia, which was established in the new Rockbridge County to provide home defense during the Revolutionary War. Our SAR Chapter was organized in 1978 and participates in numerous activites to promote patriotism and historical appreciation. Each year the chapter conducts a local essay contest for high school students, the winner of which goes on to compete at the state level. One won the state contest and then went on to compete at the national level and won a trip to San Diego, California.

For Hurricane Camille had dropped more than twenty inches of rainfall locally. At that time, other houses in the same neighborhood were swept from their foundations.

Its volunteer professional staff assists visitors, members and interns to develop and carefully test small scale, cost-effective stormwater management techniques.

Our mission has evolved to meet the community needs over the last half a century. In the beginning, we provided some clinical services but now we concentrate our efforts on community educational programs aimed at promoting awareness of mental health issues that affect our community and to lessen the stigmas attached to metal illness.


Our mission is to focus on two key objectives.

1. To provide, free of charge, to the community, quality and relevant mental health educational opportunities ranging from lectures and workshops to the purchase of books on mental health topics for all five branches of the Rockbridge Regional Library.

2. To provide friendship and quality of life extras to the 60 residents of the Manor Adult Home in Natural Bridge. This includes Sunday desert outings, Christmas gifts, caroling, “free” shopping trips to the Stonewall Jackson Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop, and occasional group outings.

The Museum features four historic, reconstructed working farms from Germany, Northern Ireland, England, and Botetourt County, Virginia, and a working 18th century blacksmith forge from Northern Ireland. The farms represent the daily lives and agricultural heritage of the peoples who came to the new world and formed a unique American culture.
Over the next several years, more historic living history sites and exhibits will be added to the Museum's offerings, including American Indian and West African sites. The Museum's mission is to educate the public about the lives , reasons for immigration, and cultural synthesis of the ethnically diverse peoples who arrived in western Virginia and the mid-Atlantic backcountry during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries; as well as the native peoples who made the area their home. The immigrant cultures include the Germans, Scotch-Irish, English, and West Africans.

All meetings are open to the public. Join our coalition and help make a difference in our community.

Our Mission: To reduce substance abuse among youth in the Rockbridge area by increasing community awareness of substance use and other prevention related issues and by promoting a comprehensive network of prevention and intervention services and resources.

Our Vision: To promote protective factors and decrease risk factors in order to help build healthy youth, families, and communities in the Rockbridge area.

Our Goals:
1) To reduce substance use and engagement in other risky behaviors among youth and, over time, among adults by addressing the factors in the Rockbridge area that increase these risks and promoting the factors that minimize them.

2) To establish and strengthen collaboration among communities; nonprofit agencies; and Federal, State, and local governments to support the efforts of the Task Force to prevent and reduce substance use and engagement in other risky behaviors among youth in the Rockbridge area.

What are we working to accomplish and why? Research confirms what we already know. When people misuse alcohol and other drugs early, they begin to fall out of health and into potentially dangerous behavior including:

• Alcohol and drug abuse
• School drop out
• Teen pregnancy
• Delinquency and other crimes

The key to success is working together to ensure that all of our children and families have opportunities to live in health and well being.
