Welcome to our website

The National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century at present has approximately 12,000 members. We have chapters in 45 states, one chapter in Canada and members throughout the world.

As descendents of the early colonists, who came to this country, our Society celebrates their bravery and determination to worship freely, seek freedom and liberty and to forge a new nation in the new world. We are dedicated to preserving our heritage, tracing our colonial ancestors and providing a vehicle for nationwide historic preservation and other patriotic and charitable activities.

If you are interested in further inquiries beyond the information contained in this web site, please contact a State President or our Headquarters for the proper state contact.

We welcome all who have a love of our heritage and who wish to preserve its history and honor our ancestors, who helped establish America - the Land of the free and the Home of the Brave.

Sandra W. Renzy, President General
