Summary of Events of the Society
Since our first successful homecoming celebration Thanksgiving weekend 2000, we have had annual dances and church services attended  by many descendants of the township and tourists alike.  To promote our heritage churches we placed stone plaques at 3 sites and plan to place more.  We also maintain the Historic Stone Fence.

The executive is pleased to receive news items of historical value or inquiries about ancestors that others may be able to answer.  Any information that we can share will help to enrich the history of our roots.  Sharing of family photos and accounts of social events are part of what we wish to develop in our "Stopping Place".  Please feel free to contact an executive member.
