About
Founded: 1890
History: The Colonial Dames originated in New York. These founding members became known as the Parent Chapter as women in other cities organized into their own chapters.
Chapter Project: The chapter is dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden, part of the Society’s headquarters. The museum is interpreted as it would have appeared in the 1830s, when the building served as a fashionable day resort near New York City.
