The Strongsville Historical Society will host its annual Founder's Day at 7 p.m. Feb. 26 at Old Town Hall, 18825 Royalton Road. The event seeks to help preserve the history of Strongsville.
This year's program, presented by Valerie Mattingly, is called "Roughing It: When Strongsville was a Frontier Town." Light refreshments will be provided. The event is free and open to everyone.
Don’t forget about the Strongsville memorabilia sold in the Olds General Store in the Historic Village. Call the Village number at 440-572-0057 to make an appointment with the store proprietors to buy pottery, aprons, sweatshirts, afgans, vintage Deganhart glass, postcards and note cards, Strongsville Family history books, etc. The latest book is a compilation of letters written to Strongsville’s Asa and Charlotte Drake between 1821 and 1857. The letters along with reference maps and articles highlighting various places and events look into the life of our pioneer ancestors.
