Welcome to
beautiful Northeast Iowa.
It is with great pride that the Hannah Lee
Chapter, NSDAR, celebrated its 100th anniversary
with a special open house at the West Union
American Legion. Mabel T. Ainsworth organized our
chapter on December 26, 1919. Chapters in Waucoma,
Postville, Elkader, Oelwein, Strawberry Point,
Charles City, Independence, and Dubuque have
disbanded over the years, but Hannah Lee Chapter,
NSDAR, is active and strong. Members currently
live in nine Iowa counties, California, Arizona
and Taiwan.
We are located in West Union, but represent six
counties of the northeast corner of Iowa. Our area
includes the beautiful Driftless Area which is
bounded on the east by the Mississippi River and
transitions into the flat plains for which Iowa is
known. The pioneer spirit of our ancestors is
present in our love of the land, patriotism,
dedication to our schools and communities, and our
desire to keep what is best from the past and the
present for the future. If you would like to join
our chapter, please contact hannahleedar@gmail.com
for more information.
