The Stoystown Lions Club was chartered Jan. 20, 1948. The Club was sponsored by the Meyersdale Lions Club. In 1959 we sponsored the Sipesville Lions Club. We also sponsored the Stoystown Lioness Club which was Chartered Jan. 9, 1983. H.S. Younkin was first Lioness Club Liaison Representative. A park was started by the acquisition of the Trostletown Bridge and land donation in memory of D.W. Swank and Harold C. Swank. The one room Mostoller School House was presented to the clubby George E. Fritz and Ira C. Fritz, and moved to the park in 1971. Purchase of land and further donation by The Swank Family resulted in a park of nearly 15 acres. The club built a pavilion with facilities and tables. Activities of the club include; supporting the Blind, White Cane Day, Camp Beacon Lodge, Walkathons, Leader Dog, Car Show, Tractor Show, Car and Gun Raffles, Sub and Pizza Sales, Chicken barbecues, and Mountain Craft Days. The largest attended activity is The Memorial Day Parade, co-sponsored by the Lions, Legion and Borough.
