Hide Profile

The Club was formed in 1818 and eventually included twenty-four members. All but one of the members graduated from Harvard College between 1810 and 1817 and held prominent positions within Boston society. Meetings were held in the homes of individual members. The club dissolved in the 1850s due to political differences between the membership.

From the description of Group portrait of The Club (Boston Athenaeum).
