The great American poet Henry Wadworth Longfellow died in 1882, spurring Bloomington-Normal residents to form a club in his honor. The Longfellow Club enjoys a revered status as Bloomington-Normal’s oldest continuously running social club. They meet most months of the year for educational programs prepared by members, plus dessert, made by whomever is hosting that month.
