No, the Violin (or "Brown Recluse") Spider does not occur that far north (or east). All spiders are poisonous, so the term "poisonous spider" is redundant. Don't confuse "poisonous" with "dangerous to humans." Only a few are in the latter category. In your area, you might be concerned about the Black Widow Spider, which is the most dangerous (to us) spider in North America. Please keep in mind, though, that even that species' bite is very rarely fatal to humans.
