Any history of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America in the State of Ohio must recognize the achievements of our organization and many of our members. Ohio became a state in 1803 and the “Ohio Society” as it is called was founded in Cincinnati in 1896.

As an organization charged with preserving history, we have kept excellent records of our own to reference and draw from. Our Ohio Society has third and fourth generation descendants of our first members, continuing the traditions of women who came before us and gave generously to the projects of the Dames of Ohio.
