Bates Hall Preservation Society

Mission Statement: The mission of the BHPS is to preserve and share Bates Township heritage with present and future generations.

Fundraising Project: Move the Historic 1907 Bates Hall to the west of the complex onto a fully functioning basement due to the rapid deterioration of the current field stone basement and steps. A corridor will be built from the Office to the east side of the hall. This will house a mini Bates Museum. Installation of energy efficient windows and siding as well as much needed building insulating will be done. The hall will be available, inside and outside, for social and recreational activities. Legacy Park, complete with a pergola, picnic tables, and (for purchase) engraved bricks will round out the complex.
