The Bingen Woman's Club (BWC) used and cared for the historic Bingen Congregational Community Church building built in 1910 from the 1940's until 2000. In 1987 the building became the home of the Gorge Heritage Museum. The energetic ladies of the BWC supported the building and paid off the mortage by holding raffles, making handcrafts for sale, holding rummage sales, and cooking home type meals for civic organizations. In the photo are some of the handcrafts made by ladies of the BWC.
