Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Ingleside Club was organized in 1917 and joined two other women's literary societies in Pullman, the Fortnightly Club and the Historical Club. Nonetheless, there was sufficient support within the town for a third club, especially one devoted to the study of music and art as the Ingleside has been. The club also emphasized service and has been involved in various civic activities.
