History Of The Society
The Society was founded as the Castleton Wesleyan Mutual Improvement Society in 1894. Meetings were held in the church schoolroom with a view to improving adult education, and by 1897 the Society had become the Castleton Literary and Scientific Society - reflecting its widening appeal. The Society moved to the Carnegie Library after its opening in 1906 providing lectures and discussion during the Winter months. Meetings have continued throughout except for a short period during World War II.
