Club Passim's archived history

Cover of a menu for Club 47 at its second location at 47 Palmer St., Harvard Square. Club 47 moved to Palmer Street in October 1963 and had the location designated number “47,” the same street number as the original club on Mount Auburn Street, from which it took its name. Passim, operated by Bob and Rae Anne Donlin from 1969 to 1994, and now Club Passim, since 1995, have continued the tradition of making and presenting music in the American tradition at this same location for the last 45 years.
