This building, completed in 1879, is the first in the nation erected for the use of a women's club. The Ladies' Library Association, organized in January 1852, grew out of a reading club started in 1844. It was the first women's club in Michigan and the third in the United States. Mrs. Lucinda H. Stone, who is known as the "Mother of Women's Clubs," helped to found this club. The association has had a continuous existence from its organization.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
