[Bimonthly meeting of the Bristol Travel Club]
Bimonthly meeting of the Bristol Travel Club, February 22, 1929. The Travel Club was part of the American Federation of Women’s Clubs. This date was the 197th birthday of George Washington. To help celebrate, the women were encouraged to attend in a variety of costumes representing various historical periods. Mrs. William Buckman, gowned to represent First Lady Martha Washington, served as program leader.
The site of the meeting was the Keene Home built in 1816 at the east corner of Radcliffe and Dorrance Streets. (Current location of the Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library that opened in 1966).
W.B. Nichols, one of the Bristol’s leading photographers at that time, was invited to photograph the group. This photograph was taken in the yard behind the house. The house in the background was once the home of the actor Thomas and his wife Mary Cooper. The minutes of the meeting show that there were 52 members present and several guests. Three photographs were required to include all members. [Note: There are only 49 people total in the photographs and one member, Mrs. Mitchell Ancker, appears in two photographs. Only two of the three photographs have the names of those in the photograph. -
