State of Nevada
The Mayflower Society

Honoring our past, protecting our future, and preserving the true meaning of American democracy through the legacy of the 1620 Mayflower voyage.

About Us
The General Society of Mayflower Descendants is a Nevada 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to guard the legacy that changed the world and honor the undaunted courage and profound sacrifice of the 1620 Mayflower passengers, whose 3,000-mile voyage became the blueprint for the American Dream. By upholding the highest genealogical standards and celebrating the transformative lessons of the Mayflower Compact, we breathe life into the history of our ancestors. We are committed to ensuring that the foundations of self-government and true democracy are never forgotten, but instead remain a guiding light for every generation to come.
What's Happening
Affiliated Chapters

We represent and support the genealogical lineage of the 1620 Mayflower passengers across the state of Nevada, with affiliated chapters serving both Northern and Southern Nevada.

Through our two dedicated colonies—the Northern Nevada Colony and the Las Vegas New Colony—we provide local hubs where members can connect, research their heritage, and participate in educational outreach. Whether you’re near the Sierra Nevada or the Mojave Desert, our society helps ensure that the history and values of the Mayflower Pilgrims remain accessible to all.

Northern Nevada

The Northern Nevada Chapter serves as a local hub for members in the Reno, Sparks, and Carson City areas. The chapter is deeply committed to historical preservation and community engagement, highlighted by projects such as the Mayflower Contemplative Garden at Hillside Cemetery in Reno. Beyond preservation, the chapter also supports genealogical discovery. Meetings often feature lineage research workshops using tools like Relative Finder to assist prospective members in tracing their ancestral roots. By blending social gatherings with educational support, the Northern Nevada Chapter helps ensure the Pilgrim legacy remains a vibrant part of the local community.

Southern Nevada

The Southern Nevada Chapter serves the growing community of Mayflower descendants throughout Clark County and the Las Vegas Valley. While it shares the mission of the statewide society, the chapter provides events and activities tailored specifically for members in Southern Nevada. From casual social gatherings to formal Compact Day luncheons, the chapter offers opportunities for fellowship, education, and historical appreciation. It provides a welcoming space for members to honor their heritage, share genealogical discoveries, and build meaningful connections with fellow descendants in the region.
