Historical Notes
Built
in
1927
, The
Country
Woman's
Club
is
an
excellent
and
intact
vernacular
craftsman-style
log
building
. Its
two
rooms
are
designed
to
house
club
meetings
and
activities
. The
Club
began
in
1922
with the
women
meeting
monthly
for
lunch
at
one
of the
member's
houses
to "
provide
social
enjoyment
" with
other
rural
women
who
did
not "have the
same
privileges
as
city
residents
in the
social
world.
" Their
first
outside-the-home
meeting
space
was the
White's
Creek
Chapel
School
. The
schoolhouse
needed
work
,
so
the
women
renovated
it
to
meet
their
needs
.
Like
the
current
building
the
women
had a
meeting
room
and a
kitchen
.
Thus
began
the
Country
Woman's
Club
that
is
still
going
strong
today
in
Montgomery
County
. In
1927
, the
women
bought
new
property
on
which
they
raised
money
and
built
a
new
clubhouse
.
Today
, the
Club
continues
to
use
its
building
as a
gathering
place
.
