Albany Colony, Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of New York
|
More than one hundred years ago, a group of descendants of the Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620, saw the need for a national society to honor their memory. The intention was to remember these Pilgrims who established Plymouth Colony, in what was then called the northern part of Virginia.
Today there are tens-of-millions of individuals descended from these brave souls. It is the goal of The Mayflower Society to join together people who share this heritage and to carry on the memory of our Pilgrim ancestors.

Albany Colony History
Although the Albany Colony was the first Colony in New York State to be founded, its membership disbanded as a result of the Depression and World Wars. In 1952 the Colony was reorganized and set about to furnish the Mayflower room, an early Dutch bedroom at Ft. Crailo. The Colony donated a Dutch chest and table, paintings, quilts and china from personal donations and fund-raising projects. The room was completed in 1962 but since then the Fort has been taken over by the State of New York with the understanding that the Colony gifts would be used in other exhibits.

A Short Stroll from Plymouth Rock

Across the street and around the corner from Plymouth Rock, in the heart of this quaint village’s historic district, is the Mayflower Society House. The grounds host the historic eighteenth century dwelling built by Edward Winslow. Behind this stately mansion are the offices and library of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. The property overlooks a snug harbor where a reproduction of the blessed ship, The Mayflower, is moored. Cole’s Hill, the final resting place of many of the Pilgrims, may also be seen.
