Over the past few weeks, we at the Griffith Historical Society have been mourning the loss of our President, Nancy Stout.
Nancy was a longtime member of the Griffith Historical Society, and our President for the past 7 years. She guided us through many changes, repairs, and countless events, all with a smile on her face.
We will be forever grateful for her kindness, her leadership, and her dedication to sharing her love of Griffith and preserving its history.
We continue to feel her loss, but we’ll keep working on the projects she started, and the projects she dreamed of.
๐ Thank you for a great summer of Barrel Train rides at Central Market!! And thank you to all our Historical Society volunteers who bring the fun for you & your families!

Each year, Griffith Third Graders participate in a week-long activity called โThe ElmerJ Program,โ sponsored by the Historical Society. Students learn about our townโs history and visit our Historical Park as part of their social studies curriculum.
Our volunteers & the Canadian National Police Service do presentations & tours at no cost, but there is a fee for the bus & books that the students use for the program. We donโt want any student to miss out, so we are asking for donations to cover the fees. We hope to raise $1500 this year, and we have about $1000 more to go.
