township. Open meetings are held on the fourth Monday,

subjects of local historical interest. The Society maintains
the Ely Cemetery which is open to the public on Memorial
and Veteran's Days, and has restored and maintains the
interior contents of the Force Homestead. Annual dues

The Society observed
its 40th anniversary on March 9, 2003 with an open house
in the historical Force Home. In 1963 the town acquired
the Force Home and then-township manager Robert Harp

and that a group of volunteers be solicited to maintain
the site. For more information call Helen Shumsky
