Welcome!

The Oregon Society of Mayflower Descendants meets twice a year. One meeting is in late April or early May, the other in November. They are usually held in the Portland area, or in Eugene. Meetings normally are luncheons, held on a Saturday, with a speaker.

The next state meeting will be May 4, 2013 at Hayden's Lakefront Grill in Tualatin. Arrival time is 12:00 with seating at 12:30. Our speaker will be Peter Arenstam of Plimoth Colony, who oversees continuing work on the Mayflower II replica in Plymouth, Mass. Peter is the author of several excellent Mayflower books for children and is steeped in the history of the Mayflower voyage and early times in Plimoth Colony.
