Board of Trustees provides lawn care and maintenance of the buildings, which will soon have running water, elec tricity and sewer paid for by Fenton Township. “Fenton Township Supervisor Vince Lorraine and Operations Manager Tom Broecker have been very helpful about taking care of the grounds.” e Association also received a generous grant from the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, and VG’s Grocery donates a stipend to purchase food for the annual Pioneer Day event. e Podunk House & Museum has survived many decades with the help of volunteers, the Fenton Township Board, three Eagle Scout projects, funding from proceeds of Pioneer Day, grant monies and Association member ships, Heusted notes. It has remained true to its mission of preserving the history of Fenton and Mundy Townships including the lake, the farm, the school, the local church and the people who settled there. “We want to preserve the history of the area for future generations,” says Judson. u
