Inscription.

On January 14, 1914, a small group of local women met to organize a study club for the cultural advancement of its members. In addition to its primary focus, the club soon adopted a series of civic projects, including many that offered financial support for public school programs, that had a dramatic impact on the development of the community. Among the projects was a 1939 campaign that resulted in the preservation of Holland’s opera house for use as a civic center. Through its activities, the club continues to reflect the goals and ideals of its founders.

Erected 1988 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 6493.)
