National Society of Colonial Dames of America in the State of South Carolina

Education is at the core of all South Carolina Society’s programs and activities. Native and naturalized citizens alike have a stake in perpetuating the founding principles of our nation. By learning more about the brave men and women from all backgrounds and stations of life who built this country, we become more unified and responsive to our civic responsibility. The Society also participates in historical projects, which include research, preservation, publications, and monuments.
