South River Club

South River Club is a 1.5-story wooden building with a gable roof and narrow chimney located near Annapolis in Maryland. The structure retains its original form and proportions from the period it was constructed.

The organization was founded in 1700 and moved to its current building in 1742. It ranks among the longest continuously operating social organizations in America.

The club serves as a gathering place where members maintain long-standing traditions through regular meetings and shared meals. The space reflects customs that have remained largely unchanged for generations.

Access is limited to members and invited guests during special occasions. Visitors should inquire ahead about opportunities to view the building or attend specific events.

Records from after a fire had to be painstakingly reconstructed and now serve as important sources for early American social history. These documents reveal how members carefully restored their archives to preserve the organization's legacy.
