She spent time during her lunch break removing litter and planting a garden next to the 1915 Erie Station. This was soon after the opening of the museum.

Now Historical Society and Steris volunteers maintain this garden. Please come to hear Ellen’s daughter speak about her mother’s many accomplishments in Chester.
