History

BURLINGAME WOMAN’S CLUB

front yard and front of the bwc clubhouse
On May 31, 1907, 45 women met at the Burlingame Train Station to form the Burlingame Woman’s Club dedicated to civic improvements in Burlingame, CA. This small group of women put their fundraising skills to work, and within one year, they raised enough money to build a streetcar waiting station and plant 600 new trees in downtown Burlingame. In addition, by holding street carnivals and selling “stock certificates” in their club, these enterprising women had enough money left over to purchase a lot on Park Road, which is now the site of the Clubhouse.
