This historic view near 8th Avenue West and 7th Street shows the early days of downtown as it grew into the center of the community. Streets like this became home to local businesses, everyday life, and new opportunities for growth.

How many changes do you recognize since then?

Update on the Women’s Club

Progress continues on revitalizing this historic space as we move closer to reopening.

We’re currently working on an RFP for an operator and shaping the venue into a more accessible option for the community, with multiple areas for different types of events.

With improvements underway, we’re aiming for a summer timeline and hopeful for a Fourth of July celebration, followed by a grand opening once bookings officially open.

What kind of events would you love to see here? 🤍
