Description
The Newton Social Science Club was formed in 1886 by six women who wanted meaningful discussion on political, educational, philanthropic, and reform movements of the day. The first meeting was on Jan. 22, 1886. The Club members also enjoyed occasional social affairs. In the spring of 1888 the Club taught sewing to 12 girls in Thompsonville. This was the first step toward the Vacation Industrial School in Nonantum. Regular meetings are still held today.
