The inception of the Women's Club of Beaumont began at the
residence of Mrs. Hal W. Greer on January 18, 1895. The club's
interest was founded on the promotion and development of the area
libraries, cultural collections and literary needs. On April 24,
1889, the club changed its name to the Women's Reading Club and
became affiliated with the Texas Federation of Women's Club's and
charted by the State of Texas in 1905.
In 1909 a structure was erected at 525 Magnolia to house their
organization. During World Wars I and II, this structure was used
by the American Red Cross and the Office of Civil Defense; the club
changed to the Women's Club of Beaumont in 1927 and is currently an
active leader in community affairs.
This collection contains yearbooks of the Women's Club of
