President George Washington was also the acting President,
until his death in 1799, of the Society of the Cincinnati,
"the oldest military hereditary society in the United States".

Early members of the Society of the Cincinnati had
board member status and contributed to the proceedings
of the American Philosophical Society, with collegial
relationships continued down to the present day.

"War" Societies are the "oldest, largest, and best-known
of the hereditary societies", "with membership based on
the military service of an ancestor", according to
