We are the families of the Scottish Clan Gordon in the United States of America. Our mission is to preserve and promote our unique heritage and Celtic culture, as we enjoy the fellowship and support of family and friends. Come Join Us at the Gordon Tent!
The Gordon name is synonymous with the rich history of Scotland and dates back to the 11th Century. It is a name to be proud of and deserves your interest and support. The Board of Directors of House of Gordon USA invites you to join our Clan Society.
WHAT WE DO
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to create, stimulate and sustain an interest in Scotland, its history, traditions and culture; to bring together people of Gordon heritage; to promote goodwill and understanding among its members and the general public; and to perform charitable works. The “Charles O. Gordon Memorial Scholarship Fund” provides scholarships to aid our youth in further studies of the Scottish arts and education. Our Scotland charity is the Gordon Highlander Museum in Aberdeen, Scotland which tells the history of "the finest regiment that ever was." We honor the men and women of Clan Gordon who are serving or have served in the defence of our nation with the Wall Of Honor. We promote genealogical research, and the Gordon DNA project, host tents at various Celtic Festivals & Highland Games across the USA and many other worthy projects which encompass our Clan Gordon history and cultural heritage as well as providing community service.

WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST CONVENER!
We would like to welcome Holly Warren as our New York Convener! Holly is an upbeat enthusiastic fun person who we are sure will inject some life into the House in New York where we have sadly lacked representation for so long. We know that there are some fellow Gordon's already lined up to give her a boost and help out. John Meldrum, David Gordon, and Michael Adams (as long as he is in the area) we are sure will be stalwart supports for the clan. Holly also comes with her own BIG support group in her family! We are looking forward to seeing great things from New York!
HOUSE OF GORDON USA 2010 AGM @ GRANDFATHER!
Check out the events at the House of Gordon USA AGM on the AGM page! It was a great time and a very successful meeting held at the Virgina Gordon encampment -- NO starting late and getting pushed out before we could finish our business as in years past at the Chieftan's tent! Congratulations to Liam MacDonald of Elora, ON, Canada (pictured left) who was the Grade IV Piper of the Day and is our scholarship recipient as sponsor for that event. Liam is nine years old and has a great piping future ahead of him!
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of the House of Gordon's most cherished members. Major James C. Ledy, U.S. Army (Retired) passed away June 19, 2010. Memorial service will be mid-September at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the Phoenix VAMC Community Living Center.
ALEXANDER GORDON FAMILY REUNION PLANS ANNOUNCED Trying to make it easier for us all to plan ahead. We will have the next family reunion in Exeter New Hampshire on July 9th, 2011 which is the second Saturday in July. Hopefully we can all plan ahead and make this a great day. I know we are all having a rough time with the economy, at the same rate we are not getting any younger. The last reunion was awesome, and I send my love to you all for it. Please pass the word on to your family members, as there are many I do not have e-mails for. Looking forward Merle
