Welcome to the Acorn Club

Founded in 1889

Tandem fit arbor, written in the scroll of The Acorn Club logo, refers to the acorn “at last becomes a tree.” A fitting logo for our private women‘s city club located in scenic Rittenhouse Square of Philadelphia — a place for women of all ages to learn, grow, share, and celebrate. The Club is a favorite meeting place for members and their guests — providing the comfort and privacy of a home amidst a lively city.

History

The Acorn Club owes its conception to a walking club: The Outing Club. In the spring of 1888, one of its members said that it would be a pleasant thing to have a room of our own to which we could go after our walks, where we could hold our meetings, keep some books and magazines and make a cup of tea. The suggestion was warmly acclaimed by all present, and from it The Acorn Club was evolved.
