Porch Club of Riverton
Tuesday October 2, 2007 - Wednesday December 31, 1969
Porch Club of Riverton
Fourth And Howard Sts.
Riverton, New Jersey 08077 Get Directions
The Porch Club of Riverton is a NJ Federated Women's Club founded in 1890, and is now one of the oldest in New Jersey. Eight young women originally met on porches as a reading circle each week. Soon they were joined by others, and in 1895 they formally organized. Through the Porch Club, Burlington County's first Kindergarten in the public school was opened and the first woman elected to a Board of Education. In October 1900 a State Congress of Mothers (now known as the PTA) was formed through their efforts in Riverton. The Porch Club of Riverton continues to be a "center of thought and action for women" and its community as stated in its original purpose.
