* To be an historical society as well as a genealogical and biographical association.
* To propose, as an organization, regular visits to historical points of interest.
* To promote the acquaintance and good fellowship of its members generally in these matters.
* To learn the names of the earliest European settlers on both sides of the Piscataqua River within the limits of the Piscataqua Plan or Piscataqua Settlements and contiguous territory from the earliest times to July 1776.
* To learn the contributions of these settlers to the advancement of civilization including its industry, literature and arts.
* To trace the settlers and their descendants.
* To provide for the assembling and publication of such information as may be secured to the end that those generations who come after us shall not be ignorant of those who first dealt with the wilderness and who established homes in the New World.
