Richmond Woman's Club (1904-2013) | Eastern Kentucky University - Special Collections and Archives
Name: Richmond Woman's Club (1904-2013)
Historical Note:
The Richmond Woman's Club was chartered in 1904 by charter president, Mrs. Frank Jennings. It was federated as a chapter of the Kentucky Federation of Woman's Clubs in 1905. Their activities were interrupted by World War I, but it was reorganized in 1923 and existed continuously until 2013 when it disbanded due to low membership.
The programs of the Woman's Club had a positive impact on the Richmond community, but of particular note was the library which provided the town's main access to a library before the Madison County Public Library was established in the 1990s.
