Porch Club of Riverton

The Porch Club of Riverton is a Federated Women’s Club founded in 1890 and is now one of the oldest in New Jersey. Eight young women met on porches as a reading circle each week, were soon joined by others, and in 1895 organized more formally. Membership was then limited to 25 and for the next nine years, the Club met in the home of Mrs. Edward Ogden on Bank Avenue.
