Home to Oak Park's largest ballroom, the Nineteenth Century Club has been around since 1891 but retains its historical styling and significance.

Originally founded in 1891 as a private club for forward-thinking women, the Nineteenth Century Club continues the tradition of social and cultural advancement to this day.
