In 1902, a group of 12 women inspired by the quote "mighty oaks from little acorns grow" formed the Acorn Club of Seaford and created the town's first library. Club members supported efforts in World War II by selling war bonds, rolling bandages, and knitting scarves. The Acorn Club sponsored a popular Seaford telephone directory from 1948-2014. They have also supported enhancement projects throughout the community, including at local schools, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, and the Ross Mansion. The Acorn Club has been a member of the Delaware State Federation of Women's Clubs since 1902 and the General Federation of Women's Clubs since 1924.
