Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Kansas

After a 66-day voyage across the Atlantic, 102 passengers seeking religious freedom and economic opportunity established a community aligned with their beliefs. In doing so, they changed the course of world history by writing and signing the Mayflower Compact—a precursor to the U.S. Constitution that laid the foundation for American self-government.

Now, centuries later, we gather to honor and preserve their history, express our gratitude for their strength and devotion, and remember the hardships they endured.

Governor Lou Ann Youngblood

Thousands of Mayflower descendants worldwide take extraordinary pride in tracing their heritage back to the passengers of the Mayflower.

Becoming a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Kansas is more than joining an organization; it honors the ancestors who helped lay the groundwork for the New World. It operates solely for charitable, literary, and educational purposes.

We invite you to join us in commemorating this incredible 1620 journey and honor the legacy of our Pilgrim ancestors.
