December 23, 1933 -The 176th DAR
Chapter in New York was organized in the north wing of historic Fort Crailo
in Rensselaer. State Regent Mrs. Hamilton Gibbes gave the oath of office to
the new officers. Ruth Electa Schaefer presented the organizing Chapter with
a gavel made of the wood of the battleship, Revenge, which saw nine days of
action on Lake Champlain during the American Revolution. We still use that
gavel for meetings. More History...
