 Jacob Bennett ChapterSilver City, New Mexico"Serving the Silver City area over 100 years." Kneeling Nun Monolith- People think that this rock that sticks up looks like a nun kneeling at an altar and praying for the sins of the world.  City of Rocks-rises up out of the surrounding plains as if it's the earth's crown. It's a real kick to walk around inside the rock-formed hallways and tunnels.  Silver City Sunset
Gila Cliff Dwellings-offers a glimpse of the homes and lives of the people of the Mogollon culture
who lived in the Gila Wilderness from the 1280s through the early 1300s. 
Our Chapter Charter (No. 610) was granted in 1903 and received in Silver City in 1904. The name Jacob Bennett was chosen because six of the charter members were descendants of this Revolutionary War patriot and another member was related by marriage. We are located in Silver City but embrace the whole of Grant County and some of the adjacent counties. Our membership draws from the mining communities, ranches, and farms, and includes members from Hidalgo and Sierra counties. Luncheon meetings are held on the first Saturday of each month from September to June, usually in private homes. We cordially invite you to contact us for membership information.
