Township Hall

On October 1911, plans were put into action to build a township hall on the Northeast quarter of section 21. Lumber was purchased for $150, furniture, $3, stove for $7, and $42.50 for painting the structure.

The hall served for many years as a gathering place for the community for social events as well as a place for public elections and other meetings. Many a night the walls rang with the sound of music that was provided by some of the local fiddlers, accordionists and the pianists. Some of the musicians were Herb Lund, Bernhardt Nystad, Wilfred Rosenau, who Tended their talents on the fiddle.

Other music makers were Ted and Elsie Berglund, who ventured to the hall from Nordmore township.

Other activities were card parties and showers for the new brides in the community. When the school district was reorganized in 1960 the township hall became a granary and the other functions were transferred to the school on section 30.
