Gathering
This structure became known as the Clubhouse and originally housed the gun club. The Clubhouse also became a community spot for meetings, movies and all-night dances.
"...we all one-stepped, two-stepped, fox-trotted and waltzed and polkaed together in the old Clubhouse----a two-story log and frame building on the east side of the Square. The dance hall was upstairs over the drugstore. One evening during a dance Clause and I went downstairs for a soda. The thunder, the shaking and vibration from the dancing feet above were terrifying. But the building stood, and has stood, all the years."
