Colonial Dames of America
The Colonial Dames of America (CDA) is the oldest colonial lineage society for women in the United States, founded in 1890 by Maria Denning May Van Rensselaer. With a mission to honor the history of the thirteen American colonies, the society promotes historic preservation, offers scholarships, and fosters an appreciation for American history and patriotism among its members.
Celebrating its 130th anniversary in 2020, the CDA engages in various activities, including awarding grants, organizing events like the International Tea, and facilitating educational programs. The society's commitment to fellowship and heritage continues to inspire women descended from colonial ancestry across the nation.
