About Us

The Tennessee Mayflower Society was organized on August 10, 1948, in Chattanooga, by Mayflower Descendants living in the State of Tennessee, to preserve the history of our Mayflower ancestors.  Our members keep their memory alive through genealogy, historical research, education, library donations, and preservation of historic records and sites.
