After years without a resident family, the Meeker House was given an historic house cleaning and scrubbing by the Delaware County Historical Society.   Society volunteers and staff converged on the historic gateway homestead.   They brought vacuums, dusters, brooms and rags to give the cherished house a good cleaning.
