Administrative history
The Elder's Mills Women's Institute was founded in 1949. Among its many and varied efforts to foster a sense of community and to better and enrich the lives of community members were philanthropic and charitable activities, and the compilation of the Elder's Mills Tweedsmuir history. The organization disbanded at the end of 2010.
