- Description:
- This collection contains legal documentation, meeting minutes, club reports, scrapbooks, photographs, newspaper clippings, year books and correspondence on the Ingham County Federation of Women's Clubs. It also contains the records of the Woman's Historical Club, located in Lansing. A previous version of a finding aid created by the Forest Parke Library & Archives in 2013, with item-level detail of the collection's contents, is attached to this record. The Ingham County Federation of Women’s Clubs was formed in 1917 and the first annual meeting was held in 1918. Local clubs were formed all over the county in municipalities such as: Lansing, East Lansing, Holt, Okemos, Haslett, Mason, Stockbridge, Leslie, Webberville and others. The club was very involved in philanthropic work including: music programs in rural schools, nutritional health during the war years, mental health programs, keeping pornography off of newsstands, combating juvenile delinquency and promotion of safety and law enforcement. The Federation was involved in many civic activities, including the petitioning of local and county government on issues. The Federation was responsible for the establishment of the Ingham County Library. Members petitioned the Ingham County Board of Supervisors asking for a county library. The first Ingham County library opened in Mason in 1938. The Federation established a home for aged women, the Women’s Home. The first location was on Ionia Street in Lansing and opened in 1923. The second home for aged women was “Willow Manor” on Willow Street in Lansing. It opened in 1924 and closed in 1996. A large bequest from the estate of Marion Sattler made "Marsh Pointe," the successor to "Willow Manor," possible. This residential complex for senior citizens opened in Haslett in 1996. The Woman's Historical Club was organized by a group of prominent Lansing women in 1895. R.E. Olds paid for their clubhouse and his wife Metta Olds was a member. The Women’s Club House Association sponsored national and local charities for many years. The Woman’s Club House was sold in 1987. Some Lansing clubs trace their roots back to the Women’s Club House Association.
