The Woman's Town Club
805 E. High St.
Springfield, Ohio 45505
(directions)
The Woman’s Town
Club of Springfield, Ohio, was
founded in 1922 to provide local women with a center for social and civic
activities. Their clubhouse, the Clementine Berry Buchwalter home, the
former 805 East High Street residence of
Captain E. L. Buchwalter, would provide hospitality for decades
of club parties originated by women from all over the United States.
Clementine Berry Buchwalter opened her residence to the local women
for gatherings. Out of this grew the foundation of the Ohio Federation
of Women’s Clubs.
This beautiful 1852 historic mansion, situated just moments from
downtown, is one of the oldest homes in Springfield. According to
historical findings, the High Street clubhouse was once a station on the
historic Underground Railroad.
The Woman’s Town Club mission is "to provide a social center
for citizens in the Springfield area community and to maintain
the preservation of this gracious historical home."
THE WOMAN'S TOWN CLUB is celebrating
it's 85th birthday during December 2007...
