Historical Note
The Delphian Culture Club was started in 1915 as a Walla Walla area women’s book club. At the time of its founding it was a part of the national Delphian Society, which closely monitored the group’s studies. The club met in the homes of members, selected in alphabetical order. Members of the Delphian Culture Club were active volunteers throughout World War Two. The club was officially disbanded as a reading group at a November 14, 2017 meeting, although the remaining members agreed to continue seeing each other in an unofficial capacity.
