The Grand Rapids (Michigan) Women’s Curling Club claims to
be the first curling club for women in the USA in 1908. The women’s curling
team was a notable exception to the turn-of-the-century attitude that women
should not participate in competitive sports.
They curled at the Grand Rapids CC (founded in 1902) located at the
corner of Lake Drive and Norwood Avenue in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Note the ‘T’ shaped
rock handles.
