HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The TNT Dancing Club was formed to provide dancing enjoyment and fellowship for its members. The Club had six parties each year as well as a formal dinner/dance each spring at a local country club. The Club collected dues to pay for its events. Records of the TNT Dance Club were turned over to the Indiana Historical Society when membership declined and the Club ceased operation.
