The Grand Chapter of Texas, Order of the Eastern Star was organized on May 5, 1884. As early as 1898 there was an interest in forming a chapter in Palestine but it would take another ten years before Palestine Eastern Star Chapter 395 had its first organizational meeting on Friday, October 14, 1908. Since that time the Chapter has met continuously in the various buildings of the Palestine Masonic Lodge.
