Our History

 

Our History

We're Working to Preserve Our History

As we made the move to our new building and began transferring historic Township documents to their new home, we were reminded anew how important it is to share and preserve the things that tell the history of our Township and its residents. We are fortunate to have a number of historical documents that date back to the 1860's and we are currently considering the best way to both protect and display them.

The following documents are fine examples of these treasures. Township Trustee Ron Levitsky, a middle-school history teacher, has taken the next step in sharing this information: he has developed lesson plans to accompany them, ready for use in the classroom.

More documents will be featured in the future. We welcome your comments and ideas!
