Arizona Society

This Chapter was chartered February 1997
and is named after the city in which we meet.

The City of Prescott was named after William Hickling Prescott,
a famed 19th century historian, who was the grandson of
Col. William Prescott who commanded at the battle of Bunker (Breeds) Hill.
