The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Illinois perpetuates the memory of the events and people of the American colonial period, defined as the time between the settlement of Jamestown (1607) and the Battle of Lexington (1775), in the United States and in the State of Illinois. Our mission includes promoting education of the colonial period, erecting memorials at colonial sites in Illinois, and inspiring patriotism and respect for the founders of the nation.
