The Country Club began around 1912.  In 1924, its name was changed to the Country Homemakers' Club.  The club was located in the Amenia area of Cass County, N.D.  It was considered unusual for the time because it was the only one in Cass County that had two meetings a month- "one a social and one a business."  The Country Homemakers' Club was active in cooking, sewing, and community projects throughout the 1920s through the 1950s.  It appears to have disbanded sometime in the 1960s.

The records of the Country Homemakers' Club consist of  Meeting Minutes (1917-1919, 1923-1959); Major Project Record Books (1931-1934, 1946-1949)  projects contained in these books deal with clothing and food; Treasurers' Record Books (1913-1916, 1920-1930, 1944-1947) includes members' dues and other financial information; Cass County Council of Homemakers' Clubs contains the constitution for the Cass County Council of Homemakers' Clubs, as well as Cass County Council meeting minutes for the years 1952-54; and Subject Files include some material that was not associated with specific Country Homemakers' Club events.  For instance, the Cass County Rural Festival Booklet from 1930, is an example of this.
