“Being
deeply impressed with the importance of preserving facts connected
with the settlement,
rise and progress, civil and ecclesiastical,
of this township...”
These
thoughtful words from the constitution of the Tallmadge Historical
Society were penned March 24, 1858, in the Old Town Hall. That was
the first meeting of what is now the oldest historical society in
Ohio.
The Society normally holds six meetings per year, featuring speakers
on local and regional history. In March, April, October, and November,
meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month. The May annual
business meeting is held on a Saturday, and the December event is
usually scheduled for the second Sunday.
The second floor of the old Town Hall and Academy was converted
into a museum, using many Tallmadge artifacts. The public is welcome
during open house or by special request. The remodeled first floor,
complete with a kitchen, is now available for meetings, receptions,
and other events.
To reserve the first floor, schedule a tour, or learn about upcoming
events, please call the Society’s office at 330-630-9760.
