Ella Freeman Memorial Heritage House

The Heritage museum in Champney’s West became a reality due to a couple of significant occurrences. The first, being the generous gift of the original house, made by Dr. Marjorie Ragosta in honor of her mother Ella Freeman. The second being the hard work and dedication of local volunteers, supported by government programs, to restore the house, acquire local artifacts and begin recording the written history of the people.

We are happy to say that we have now created a web page introducing the Ella Freeman Memorial Heritage House, to tell you how it came about and to give you a glimpse of what you will find in there when you visit.

In 2010 CWRG achieved the goal of establishing a Heritage House Museum. This building and the archives it holds came about as result of the significant support and the dedication of many individuals and organizations. The Ella Freeman Heritage House Museum was created and came to life with a ribbon cutting ceremony in August 2010. Many individuals have contributed volunteer time and effort to enhance the building and many of our elders have donated items and memories to the project.

Did you know that the building and land now housing the heritage house was donated by Dr. Marjorie Rogosta and family along with a tremendous amount of her research?
