Good Will Club

Name: The Good Will Club
Date of image: c. 1920
Significance: Mary Hall, who became the first female lawyer in Connecticut, later founded the Good Will Club, an organization which housed young, wayward boys. She also founded a camp in Marlborough, where these young men would come for two weeks. This image shows some of the club members in front of the "chow hall". It was originally located on East Hampton Road / Route 66, about where the Liberty Bank is today.
Sources: Collection of the Marlborough Historical Society
Notes: Today, the Good Will Club is still in operation as is known as the Boys and Girls Club of Hartford.
