Founder and First President
The Woman’s Club of Keystone Heights has been a proud part of our community since 1924, making us the oldest club in town. In less than a year of its founding, the club outgrew its original space and purchased a lot from the Community Church, where a larger building served as a Community Center for 37 years. That same building also housed and staffed Keystone Heights’ very first public library—an effort led by our dedicated members.
​
After a fire destroyed the building in 1962, the Community Church kindly offered temporary meeting space until a new clubhouse was completed in 1968. Built by Triest Construction on land donated by H.T. Williams and Charles Oliver, our current clubhouse stands proudly on the historic site of the former Chautauqua Opera House.
​
In 2022, we re-established the Junior Club to welcome women who work during the day but want to get involved. This vibrant group of teachers, nurses, entrepreneurs, moms, and professionals brought new energy and big ideas. Their first mission was to revitalize our clubhouse—painting, scrubbing, clearing overgrowth, and bringing fresh life to our space.
Today, we not only serve our community through initiatives like prom dress giveaways, teacher appreciation events, scholarship fundraisers, and our annual Fall Festival, but we also enjoy each other’s company with fun social gatherings and shared experiences.
​
We meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM and welcome women of all ages to join us! Whether you're looking to make a difference, meet new friends, or just get involved in something meaningful, there’s a place for you here at the Woman’s Club of Keystone Heights.
