The Jekyll Island Club was founded in 1886 with 50 founding members.
J.P. Morgan, William Rockefeller, William Vanderbilt, Joseph Pulitzer, Marshall Field, & other titans of the Gilded Age purchased the entire island for $125,000 & built an ultra exclusive retreat for hunting, golf, fishing, yachting, lavish entertaining & debauchery.
Then in November 1910.
A small group of powerful bankers and government officials quietly gathered at the club under the cover of a “duck hunting trip.” During those secret meetings, they drafted the Aldrich Plan… the blueprint that ultimately became the Federal Reserve Act, which became law in 1913.
