Here's a little about the Waterville Historical Society
Since 1964, the Waterville Historical Society has played an important role in our community. Over the years we have acquired the following properties: the Robbins House, Sargent House and Cobbler Shop museums are located on our historic campus at 114-118 S. River Road and the Wakeman Archival Research Center is uptown at 401 Farnsworth Road.
Our many services and activities include:
· Maintaining an archival collection for historic research and local genealogy
· Offering free public programs on topics of area interest
· Holding regular open houses for our historical museums and Wakeman Archival Research Center
· Guiding walking tours of both the downtown and uptown historic areas
· Participating in Roche de Boeuf Day and holding various community events
· Hosting docent-led instruction in our museums and archaeological walking tours for Waterville third graders (based on Ohio 3rd grade Social Studies curriculum standards)
Communicating events and activities with members and friends through our newsletter issued 3 or 4 times per year.
