Historical Overview:    The club was organized in 1903 to promote the Lewis and Clark Exposition.  When the project was completed, the club changed its name to the Oregon City Woman's Club.  Projects throughout the years have included:  Restoration of the Dr. John McLoughlin House, Organization of the Clackamas County Public Association in 1920 (later to be known as The Lung Association), Hosted the 1924 GFWC Oregon State Convention at which the General Federation of Women's Clubs national president was in attendance, Played a major role in the formation of the Oregon City Library (1938), Actively raised funds for the Museum of the Oregon Territory, and in 1980 we helped in the restoration of the historic Canemah Cemetery.  During the 1998-2001 period, the club helped raise funds for the Education Center of Willamette Falls Hospital in Oregon City.
