The Bay State Antique Auto Club was founded in 1968, by six couples wishing to form a club in the Dedham area. They took turns having the monthly meetings at each of their homes, with the host providing the refreshments. They drew up by-laws, scheduled tours and planned for a party in December. The Club was off and ‘running’.

In the past forty-two years, the Club has grown to more than 250 family memberships. We now hold our monthly meetings at the beautiful Endicott Estate in Dedham with the Club supplying the refreshments. The By-Laws have been revised a few times but the basic foundation is unchanged. We still schedule driving tours from April through November. We hold a Children’s Christmas Party in December. In January, we have an Awards Banquet, at which time we acknowledge those that have given freely of their time and energy in support of the Club. Along with the annual Club picnic and the many driving tours, we also participate in many parades in various towns. Visits to nursing homes are scheduled occasionally.
