After being admitted to the National Society, thirteen women formed the Presque Isle Chapter, NSDAR, on June 8, 1897 in Erie, Pennsylvania. 

 

Presque Isle Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, located in Erie, Pennsylvania, was named for a peninsula - four miles long and one and a half miles at its greatest width - extending into Lake Erie. According to its original inhabitants, the Eriez people, the peninsula was formed by the Great Spirit, who laid his outstretched arm into the lake to provide safety and protection for future generations of Eriez ("cat") People. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
