About Us
The OKLAHOMA SOCIETY OF MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS is a charitable and educational organization formed in 1947.
We are funded by tax-deductible contributions and governed by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
We distribute historical and genealogical books to Oklahoma libraries, present educational material and programs to schools, sponsor Pilgrim heritage programs for the public, and offer an annual student scholarship.
We meet twice a year for a formal luncheon and history presentation, creating lifelong bonds through fellowship and remembrance.
We have approximately 200 active members and have inducted over 1100 members since 1947.
Our goal is to meet new generations of Mayflower descendants who will keep the memory of our Pilgrim ancestors alive.
