## Description

The Colonial Dames of America is an esteemed brand dedicated to honoring American history through preservation and education. As a relevant international resource, their mission is to promote the study of American history and the best practices of historic preservation. Membership is by invitation only, and members trace their lineage back to ancestors who held public office, were commissioned officers, or served in other specified capacities during the colonial era. The brand consists of various chapters, each governed by elected officers and reporting to the Society's Board of Managers. They invite new members, plan meetings and events, and oversee their own projects. The Parent Chapter, which established the Society, is directly governed by the Society's Board. The headquarters, located in New York City, boasts the impressive Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden, an accredited museum. The Colonial Dames of America's rich history dates back to 1890 when it was founded by Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer and Mrs. John Lyon Gardiner. Their original insignia, designed by Tiffany & Co., represents the society's prestigious heritage. For those interested in supporting the brand, donations can be made, and various CDA products and tickets can be purchased. Stay updated with their newsletters and connect with the Colonial Dames through their contact information.
