The purpose of the Elk Township Historical Society is to promote an appreciation of Elk Township history and its natural environment, particularly the contribution of its one-room schools. Its other purpose is to provide a Community Center offering educational programs for all ages and a place for organizations to hold meetings and groups to hold less formal gatherings, such as showers and graduation parties. A spacious playing field, a well equipped playground and a modern pavilion provide a lovely pastoral setting for family reunions.

Current Projects/Needs:
Funding to improve retention and storage of historical archives in the Museum.
Funding to prepare historical exhibits in the Museum.
Replace exterior door on the 1870’s one-room school building
