Have you ever wondered about the brick-sided house with the Woman’s Club sign on Acton’s Main Street? If so, you have come to the right place. This historic building, dating back to 1815, is home to the Acton Woman’s Club, a group of active, fun-loving, and socially-involved people. Our website will give you insight into just who we are and what we are up to.
So, read on, and if you are interested in more information and/or coming to one of our monthly luncheon meetings as our guest, go to our Contact Page to RSVP so we can greet you properly. Also, we invite you to call a friend and come together!
You will get the opportunity to see our house, enjoy a stimulating program, join us for a quick business meeting, and finally be well fed at our delicious luncheon. With our HEPA filters cleaning the air, events held at the house, with masks being optional, are very safe. We also welcome you to consider joining us as a member if our activities and charitable work feel like something you would find worthwhile and fun. Hoping to see you sometime!

The Acton Woman’s Club considers it an honor that we were invited to make a contribution to the Acton 250 Committee’s fifty-year time capsule.
Above is a picture of our contribution to the time capsule. It shows a folded AWC 110th anniversary tea towel bundled by a red, white and blue ribbon to an envelope containing an AWC notecard. On the notecard is written an explanation of the Forever postage stamp affixed to the envelope: a “Feather 1776” stamp commemorating the Declaration of Independence and issued by the United States Postal Service for the America 250 celebration. It is noted that the value of the Forever stamp today is 82 cents. The envelope is addressed, “To Readers in 2075” and is “From the Acton Woman’s Club.”
Folded inside the notecard is a one-page statement that was requested by the Acton 250 Committee and approved by the AWC Executive Board. It describes the history of the Acton Woman’s Club and concludes with a personal reminiscence about seeing the Isaac Davis plow for the first time, then contemplating Davis’ actions and the actions of other revolutionaries described at the very end of the Declaration of Independence: “…we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
