Governor John Archdale Chapter

Charlotte, North Carolina

Covering Mecklenburg, Stanly, and Rowan Counties

The Governor John Archdale Chapter has 36 members with one new member being our first junior member. We seek to bring recognition for Colonial Dames in the Mecklenburg, Stanly, and Rowan County area while providing interesting events for the chapter members. The chapter has been involved in many events with wreath laying at area cemeteries and other patriotic society markings. The chapter has also been involved in many historic grave restorations and preservation. Chapter members have been involved in cleaning cemeteries and repairing broken markers. In honor of America 250, several area ancestors have had commemorative ceremonies and historical markers.

Our chapter members make donations to the local VA Medical Center for veteran’s needs at the holidays, and Crossnore Communities for Children on the Avery campus.

Several of our chapter members have attended the 2025 state conference in Raleigh and one chapter member is state historian. Several members of the chapter have received state awards and recognition for their number of supplements and Coat-of-Arms.
