The 1912 Legacy Society – Garrett Williamson began with a bequest. In 1912, Elizabeth Garrett directed her Executors to draft a charter of incorporation for an institution or home to be called the Garrett Williamson Lodge for the support and maintenance of poor children and deserving single women. Her stated goal was to provide the opportunity of enjoying recreation and country life “and thus building them up physically, mentally and morally.”
