The Country Woman's Club was founded in the unincorporated community of St. Bethlehem, Tennessee in 1922, as a monthly meeting at one of the member's houses. It expanded to 35 members who eventually moved to meet at the White's Creek Chapel School. [2]

Its club building, built in 1927, is a Craftsman Style log building with a hipped roof, which was built by husbands of the club members. [2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. [1] It was deemed

important in the woman's club movement, as a visible reflection of the consciousness of gender-specific activities and community roles. It also represents the relative educational, intellectual, political, and civic interests of rural Montgomery County women during the twentieth century. Architecturally the building is a fine example of a twentieth-century log building with Craftsman influence. The Country Woman's Club retains a high degree of architectural and historical integrity. [2]

The building is now within the city limits of Clarksville, Tennessee, which expanded. [2]
