Administrative History

The Shoreland Club was created in 1906 by Mrs. Lewis Watson.  It began as a literacy club in which women could meet to read and discuss popular literature of the time.  Starting in 1921, the Shoreland Club began discussing political and social topics as well as literature.  In 1924, the Shoreland Club became a member of the Maryland Federation of Women’s Clubs.

The projects completed by the Shoreland Club includes the formation of a Public Library in Somerset County.
