Guidance from Our Founders as set forth in our Bylaws:
"The objects of this Society shall be:
To perpetuate to a remote posterity the memory of our Pilgrim ancestors. To maintain and defend the principle of civil and religious liberty as set forth in the Compact of the Mayflower, “For the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honor of our country.”
To cherish, maintain, and extend the ideals and institutions of American freedom and to oppose any theories or actions that threaten their continuity.
To transmit the spirit, the purity of purpose, and steadfastness of will of the Pilgrim ancestors to those who shall come after us, an undiminished heritage of liberty and law."
