The Stewart House and its collection

The Stewart House
Source

The Minnie Stewart House, situated at 1015 Euclid Ave. in Monmouth, Illinois, holds historical significance as the birthplace of the women's fraternity Kappa Kappa Gamma. This fraternity was founded in 1870 by Minnie Stewart, a student at Monmouth College, and five other students. The house, built by Judge James H. Stewart around 1865, served as the meeting place where the fraternity was planned and officially announced.

Minnie Stewart House as a Historic House Museum

The Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation currently operates the Minnie Stewart House as a historic house museum. Visitors can explore the downstairs rooms, which are furnished in a Victorian style, offering a glimpse into the period when the fraternity was founded. This provides a unique opportunity to experience a piece of women's history in a preserved setting.
