As Superintendent of Valley Forge National Historical Park, Steve Sims was already passionate about protecting the park’s history.

Now, he has just one more reason to be invested in the cause: Sims recently became an official member of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) after discovering that one of his ancestors was part of the Valley Forge encampment, writes Rachel Riley for Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board.

The SAR’s required documentation to prove relation include: a marriage certificate, birth certificate, family lineage inscribed in a Bible, and/or Census and other public records. Sims’ SAR application process started in November, and he and his 13-year-old’s statuses were approved in February.

A West Point graduate and former Army engineer, Sims joined the National Park Service after working as an engineering consultant and seeing how much park employees enjoyed their jobs. He has been part of taking care of the National Mall, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the Washington Monument, all in Washington, D.C., and Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia.
