History
The Elizabeth Earle Magoun Club, founded in 1870, is the oldest women's club in Grinnell. First called "Busy Woman's Club", it was renamed in 1896 to honor one of the founders and first president, Elizabeth Magoun. The bi-weekly meetings are primarily devoted to reading and discussing literature.
