One of the earliest private protective societies in the United States, The Worcester Association was formed in 1795 for the purpose of deterring horse thieves and robberies. After 1905, the society was primarily a social club devoted to "preserving memorials of Worcester and its early history." In 1976, the assets of the group were acquired by the American Antiquarian Society who reorganized the club as a friends group supporting the goals and objectives of the Society.
