Why join the NSCDNY? Members share why they love the Dames

“This organization has a rich written history, but what I love about being a NY Dame is getting to hear the unwritten history from our members of all generations– lifelong friends made, inaugural events planned – great stories of how meaningful this organization has been to many.”

“I love spending time at Headquarters, every inch of the house has layers and layers of history. There seems to be endless detail to each room! It’s amazing to be so close to history.”

“Learning about history is great at any age. I love bringing my daughter to the Dames children’s events and I hope she decides to join herself some day!”

“I believe in this organization's mission! “Women are the keepers of the past” the National Society of Colonial Dames in the State of New York actively promotes our national heritage through historic preservation, patriotic service, and educational projects. It’s fantastic to meet and befriend people with these same core values to preserve history.”

“I first became fascinated by history as a student, being a member of the Dames keeps me connected to studying and preserving the past. This organization has enriched my life ever since I joined.”

“The Dames parties and events! Whether is an author giving a talk on their recent book or a fun “Plymouth Rocks” theme party there is a great community and fun spirit at the Dames.”
