The Historical Activities Committee organizes a number of lectures and activities for the National Society of Colonial Dames in the the State of New York. Some samples of events included: a day trip to New Haven, CT to visit the Yale University Art Gallery and their exhibit, "Art and Industry in Early America:  Rhode Island Furniture, 1650 - 1830," a private tour of the New York Historical Societies' exhibit "The Battle of Brooklyn," and of course, the annual Lecture Series.
