We’re staying in the Valley this month as “Skip” Wilson brings us the history of Wilson’s Mill. The mill, located on Canal Road in Valley View, dates from the era of the Ohio Erie Canal, which runs adjacent to the mill. The mill has been in the Wilson family for several generations. Skip is also a Civil War reenactor.

A reminder that our Annual Members Meeting will this coming Mon. November 18, 2019, at the Old Northampton Town Hall, 851 W. Bath Rd; CFO; STARTING AT 5:30 PM with a social hour. The meeting will start at 6:30 pm. PLEASE ATTEND

.The meeting is your opportunity to share your opinion on topics for the future of the NHS. I would greatly appreciate the interest in having someone that has been a long time Northampton resident become a Board Member.

The last election brings in new people into ‘City Hall’ from Ward Eight. The NHS needs to contact the new Councilmen with a positive approach. Ward Eight represents a special history to Cuyahoga Falls of once being a Township. Keeping Northampton’s history and its landmarks need to be preserved in a sensitive approach to maintain the rural character. This can be done by renewing your membership and getting involved with the NHS and becoming one ‘united voice’ in Northampton’s future.

The Northampton Historical Society meeting is tonight, Monday, the 18th at the Olde Town Hall. Doors open at 5:30 and the meeting at 6. There will be refreshments and a business meeting. Since it is our annual meeting, we won’t have a program. We’re starting to plan for next year, so please bring your thoughts and suggestions, especially for a destination for our annual outing in June. Please join as a new member, renew your membership and purchase a Cookbook, they are almost half sold now. We still have the panoramic pictures from the Remembrance Day available. One would make a nice Christmas gift for somebody.
