By selling little bricks on every street corner in town, our club purchased the ground for the very first Lancaster Library, and our club member Anna Davis was the librarian.  Lancaster Library had the first bookmobile in California and Anna was its operator. Later it was operated by Lancaster Woman’s Club past president Marion Williams.

The Lancaster Woman's Club formed the first Home Economics Department at the Antelope Valley Fair and two years later also started the Art Department.   The Art Department was later the start of the Allied Arts Association and still later formed the first Floral Cultural Department.   

In 1972, The Wildflower Preservation Committee was formed under the auspices of the Lancaster Woman's Club with Dorothy Bolt as its first president. Our goal along with The California State Park Foundation was to purchase and preserve botanically correct flora of the Antelope Valley. Paintings by local artist and member Jane S. Pinheiro, were sold and the proceeds enabled the purchase of the acreage that is now the Antelope Valley California State Poppy Preserve. The preserve was presented to the State of California as a Bicentennial Gift in 1976.  A display of paintings and flora specimens are at the Antelope Valley California State Poppy Preservation Preserve.  Dorothy Bolt is still the president of the Wildflower Preservation Committee.

In recent years the Lancaster Woman's Club has received local, state, and national recognition for its work in the field of Domestic Violence Awareness and our support of the Oasis Domestic Violence Center in the Antelope Valley.
