PhilanthropyRittenhouse's success in business allowed him to bestow upon his fellow citizens many other generous gifts which include a school, a recreation hall, and the resources necessary to create a library in Lincoln. Today, the Vineland branch of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20060903182008/http://www.lincoln.library.on.ca/vineland_branch.htm Lincoln Public Library] is named in his honour to reflect his long association with the library in Lincoln.[3] AgricultureHe helped to establish the Vineland Research Station for research on growing tender fruit.[4] His donation of land resulted in decades of useful horticultural research that has benefited many in and around the Niagara Peninsula. Continuing the proud association Rittenhouse had established with the local fruit industry, his nephew, Moses K. Rittenhouse began building orchard sprayers from his barn in Jordan Station, soon after in 1914 establishing the company M. K. Rittenhouse. Today, Rittenhouse still provides spraying equipment and agricultural tools to local farmers, and there is scarcely a farm in the Niagara Region that does not, or has not in the past used a Rittenhouse sprayer.
