Extension Club History in Cheyenne County 1914 to 1930s
A Centennial survey by Eliza beth Brown chronicles Cheyenne County extension work. Starting 1914 with the Mutual Improvement Club and farm groups, county agents Willey and Swinbank organize a growing network of Home Extension Clubs, including Lorenzo Women's Club, Du Cum, N. P. B., Lodgepole Homemakers, and The Juliets. The piece notes club evolution, leadership, and ongoing community education through 1930s and beyond.
