History of the Lowell Sportsmen's Club

The club was first founded in 1913 by a small group of local sportsmen who desired a gathering place for people interested in the shooting, hunting and fishing sports. In 1931, they incorporated the club and established a set of bylaws on May 27, 1931 which ruled how the club would be operated. These rules have changed several times over the years, but they derive their roots from an era filled with gentlemen and ladies with a common fondness for the outdoor sports.

Throughout the years, the club has sponsored countless outdoor activities. Many of the events that occurred at the club are documented in news articles, raffle tickets, banquet posters, photographs, and other items that are chronicled in scrapbooks from years past.

On this page, we plan to highlight many of these events and stories to share the rich traditions of the LSC with others. This is a history which all LSC club members should be proud of. We intend to do it justice in the months ahead as we work towards creating a club web site that is informative and insightful for all LSC members.

These pieces of memorabilia must be scanned and edited before they can be displayed here, however. We ask for your patience as we work towards sharing LSC history with you. We hope you enjoy this history as much as we enjoy presenting it to you.

A sample of things we plan to include here are the following posters announcing dinners and events at the Lowell Sportsmen's Club from 40 to 60 years ago. Click on the images to view a larger version of the image in a new window.
