Women's clubs are a special part of this country's history. Some were created as literary social groups, and others were formed to create a communal voice, allowing women to make political changes even without having the right to vote. In either case, these groups provided women with a way to build friendships and a sense of community.
In Delta County, most mesas had their own community club. Cedar Mesa was no different and formed its club just after the turn of the century. The Cedar Mesa Community Club still continues to operate in a way that it has since its creation with monthly meetings of women who live on the top of Cedar Mesa.
Cedar Mesa Community Club was founded in 1908 by a group of ladies living on Cedar Mesa. The members first met in member's homes. By the late 1940's the group was too big to meet in homes. By a generous donation and fundraisers, the clubhouse was built on land deeded to the club by a community member. The clubhouse remains much as it was in 1950. You can even see the original outhouse.
In June of 2016, the clubhouse was added to the Colorado State Register of Historic Places.
