The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in The State of Connecticut was founded in 1893 for the purpose of increasing public knowledge and understanding of our colonial and revolutionary heritage. Patriotic services programs, historical activities, historic preservation, and stewardship of the Webb Deane Stevens Museum are the primary means through which they fulfill their purpose.

The Connecticut Society acquired the Joseph Webb House in 1919, the Stevens House in 1957, and the Deane House in 1959. Both the Webb and Deane houses are National Historic Landmarks, and the Stevens house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
