The facility has been used by generations for weddings, receptions, showers, anniversaries, birthday parties, civic organizations, family reunions, class reunions, dances, Christmas parties, business luncheons, non-profit organizations, and individual private parties. The restoration in 2008 included the renovation and expansion of the existing clubhouse to improve accessibility for citizens with disabilities, adding a deck, increasing capacity, creating a caterer-friendly kitchen, improving parking, and making the meeting space adaptable for a variety of events. All of this was upgraded while restoring the historical aspects of the structure.
