The Saturday Club, established in 1855, was an informal monthly gathering in Boston, Massachusetts, of writers, scientists, philosophers, historians and others. ==Overview== The club began meeting informally at the Albion House in Boston. By 1856, the organization became more structured with a loose set of rules, with monthly meetings were held over dinner at the Parker House.〔Mellow, James R. ''Nathaniel Hawthorne in His Times''.
