Meetings

Aside from a formal Meeting of the Council held to finalize the formation of the Society, beginning with 2012, consistent with our Bylaws, our Members have gathered biennially in even-numbered years in Washington, DC, during the Lineage Society Fortnight in the month of April. Our meetings usually include a tour of an historic place in the Washington, DC, area that is relevant to the Society’s mission. Hyperlinks are provided to each of the sites the Society has visited.
