The South River Club (also known as "The Old South River Club") [2] is one of the country's oldest, continuously active organizations of its type. Early records were lost when the first clubhouse burned down, [2] but there is evidence that the club existed in 1732 and perhaps as early as 1700. [3] Club records show that it existed before February 11, 1742, when a resolution was passed to attempt to record all previous members' names. [2] As early as 1746, the club was referred to as "The Ancient South River Club" in the Maryland Gazette. [2]
Early members included prominent landowners, merchants, and the local doctor and clergyman, all of whom lived within a 10-mile radius of the clubhouse. [3]
The members of the club meet at the clubhouse four times per year for feasts prepared in the detached kitchen. [4] Women are only allowed in the clubhouse on "Pilgrimage Days." [4]
It is not clear where the first clubhouse stood. [2] There is speculation that it was in Londontowne, Maryland. [2]
The present structure was built in 1742 on land purchased from Captain Thomas Gassaway, son of Colonel Nicholas Gassaway. [5] It is a small frame, 1+1⁄2-story one-room clubhouse with a gable roof and a narrow exterior chimney on the east gable end. [3] [4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. [1]
