Chartered in 1956, the Cherokee Town Club recognized as one of America’s premier private clubs with a membership by invitation only. Cherokee held its first general business meeting on January 31, 1956, at the old Erlanger Theater, originally an opera house built in the 1920s on Peachtree Street near North Avenue. On October 13, 1956, members were able to hold their first official social function, a brunch, preceding a Georgia Tech football game, in the building known today as the “Town Club.” Their first formal dinner dance took place on December 8, 1956, in the original ballroom of the Grant Estate, now the Town Club’s expansive Main Lounge. The Cherokee Town Club has undergone several major expansions over the years, the last being in 2008/2009 which added another 25,000 square feet to the existing building. Cherokee, in 1997, was named the “very best private country club” in America in an inaugural poll of thousands of leaders in private club management. Cherokee was honored by the Club Leaders Forum by earning this mark of distinction in 2000, 2003, 2006, and again in March of 2009. The excellence of Cherokee’s facilities, combined with its commitment to the highest standards in dining and member services along with their long standing tradition of southern hospitality, has brought the club an extraordinary number of honors and awards throughout the years.

    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.
