In an effort to bring history to the public, the Society operates a number of programs.

But in terms of the way this society operates, your idea makes sense.

The society operated there, apparently as a school, at least through 1899.

We must assume that the Society only operated from 1893 to 1895.

From 1884-1995, the society operated a residence, open to all members.

The society also operates more than 50 chapters around the world.

It is seen by some to be one of the most peaceful ways our society could operate as a whole.

The Society operates the property as a public historic site.

The society still owns the building and operates it as a museum.

That's for "we the people" to determine how our society will operate.
