The Euterpean Club

Established in 1896, the club was formed to provide women with the mission of "unsparing labor and devotion to the cause of Good Music.

Biweekly meetings were held in members' homes, the Academy of Music, St. Paul's Methodist Church, and the Metropolitan Hotel.

The club organized programs for the state centennial celebration, featuring Texas composers Radie Britain, David Guion, William J. Marsh, Oscar J.

During World War II, the club programs featured performers from the Fort Worth Army Airfield, Camp Wolters, and other Texas military installations.

Members volunteered as USO workers and WAC recruiters, worked at hospitals, sold war bonds, and donated a piano to the Fort Worth Army Airfield.
