The Thaddeus Kosciuszko Beneficial Society was chartered in 1907 to "promote good fellowship, aid members in sickness and distress, and help non-citizen members to qualify for citizenship papers." The club was named for a Polish patriot and Grand Duke of Lithuania who fought in the U.S Revolution, then returned to Poland to fight for its liberation from Russia. A building for the Society was erected in 1940 and expanded in 1972. The Society sponsors several athletic leagues among other community activities and is also supported by a Ladies Auxiliary. The Society celebrated its 75th anniversary in August, 1982.
The records of the Thaddeus Kosciuszko Beneficial Society include two microfilm reels consisting of thirteen volumes of minute books covering the years 1915-1923, 1941-1974. The collection also includes the Society's charter of April 8, 1912.
