National Pike Chapter DAR, Washington, PA (2026)

The National Pike, known to many simply as Route 40, was created from the drafting of a piece of legislation that was ultimately signed into law by the Federal Government and Thomas Jefferson in 1806. Construction began in 1811 in Maryland and the portion through Wheeling, West Virginia was completed in 1818. National Pike Chapter was named to honor our National Pike and the gifts it has brought us.
