The Department of New York of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War is a fraternal organization dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of heroes who fought and worked to save the Union.

Organized in 1881 and chartered by Congress in 1954, we are the legal successor to the Grand Army of the Republic. More than 400 men enjoy the benefits of membership in the only male organization dedicated to the principles of the GAR — Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty.
