The Three Rivers Chapter was originally formed, and is comprised of members from Dillon, Twin Bridges, Sheridan, and Silver Star & Whitehall. These towns are situated along three major rivers (Beaverhead River, Jefferson River and the Ruby River) The chapter members decided Three Rivers would be an appropriate name for their Chapter.
