Our Society has three main objectives:
- To perpetuate to a remote posterity of the memory of our Pilgrim Fathers. To maintain and defend the principle of civil and religious liberty as set forth in the Compact of the Mayflower, "For the Glorie of God and advancement of the Christian faith, and honor of our countrie."
- To cherish and maintain the ideals and institutions of American freedom, and to oppose any theories or actions that threaten their continuity. To transmit the spirit, the purity of purpose and steadfastness of will of the Pilgrim Fathers to those who shall come after us, and undiminished heritage of liberty and law.
- The Society is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes by which means we further our heritage of freedom.

Our society was founded in 1927 by 22 charter members. As of now, we have an active membership of over 600 and we also have over 150 junior members. Even though about half of our members reside in Vermont, we do have members in most of the 50 states as well as France, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. We have two meetings a year, spring and fall, usually in the central Vermont area. Also, we publish a newsletter, The Green Mountain Pilgrim, at least twice a year.
