About Us

MISSOURI BRANCH

The Missouri Branch, National Society Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims, was founded in 1929.  It was served by six branch governors before it failed.  On March 13, 1953, it was re-organized by Miss Acena M. Booth at the Robidoux Hotel, St. Joseph, Missouri, and has remained a viable branch of the national society ever since.  It is a 501(3)c non-profit organization.


OBJECT -  The object of this Society shall be exclusively philanthropic, religious, education, and scientific; to perpetuate the memory, and to foster and promote the principles and virtues of the Pilgrims; to commemorate publicly stated times and principal events in the history of the Pilgrims, and to erect durable memorials to historic men, women and events; to encourage the study and research of Pilgrim history especially as related to the foundation of civil government on the principles of religious freedom; to foster and establish such departments of study and of organization as shall seem best to promote social rights, civic virtue, industry, freedom, political equality, the supremacy of just laws, the value and sacredness of the ballot, the purity of the home, temperate and godly living, and dependence of individuals, communities, states and nations on the guidance of Almighty God, as taught by the Pilgrims.


SUPPORT FOR ALIGNED PROJECTS - Our Society donates money to those projects, which align with the National Society's desire to assist those organizations involved with 17th century efforts.  We have donated money to the Wing Fort House in Sandwich, Massachusetts, and the Fairbanks House of Dedham, Massachusetts. 


MOTTO - Land of our Fathers!  Ours to preserve. Ours to transmit. Liberty in Union: Now and Forever.


MEETINGS - We meet twice yearly on the last Saturday of March and August at 11 a.m. in the Columbia, Missouri, area, either at a restaurant or member's home.


OFFICERS - Officers are elected for a three-year term.  The 2022-2025 officers are:
