| Additional Comments |
After the founding of the Racine Council No. 697 Knights of Columbus in 1902, several Burlington men became members. These men sought the granting of a charter for the Burlington Council No. 1578 in 1911. Initially meeting in Forester Hall on the second floor of the Zimmerman Block on Milwaukee Avenue, the group later rented clubrooms in the Weiler Block. In 1914, the Knights of Columbus purchased and renovated the non-extant Eugene & Florence Cooper Hall House at the corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Kane Street. In 1915, a local chapter of the Daughters of Isabella, an international auxiliary organization to the Knights of Columbus, was established under the name Queenship of Mary, Burlington Circle No. 55. Throughout the organization’s history, the Knights of Columbus clubhouse has been available to other community causes and organizations. In its early years, both a chorus and drama club were established. Plans were made for a new meeting house which was constructed around 1960. The Knights of Columbus Burlington Council No. 1578 Building is located at 587 E. State Street. Throughout its history, the Burlington Council has made many donations to community development projects, including the building of St. Mary’s High School in 1925 and restoration of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in 1977, local institutions, youth activities, and social and health causes. |
