The Annisquam Sewing Circle was begun in 1837 as the
Annisquam Female Benevolent Society. It is thought to be the oldest
continuous independent society of women on Cape Ann.
The Society's purpose as stated in its Preamble,
was "for the performance of acts of benevolence." Through the years, the
Society, and now the Circle, has contributed generously to community
programs and to individuals. The Annual Christmas Fair & Luncheon & The Annual Spring Plant Saleraise funds to support the projects voted on by the Circle members each year.
