January 2017 Meeting

At last November’s (2016) Annual NHS Annual Meeting, members who attended voted on finding a new location for the NHA to hold our programs at a better facicilty with ADA needs, rent free and still in the old Township area. Ken and Dave met with officals at the Woodridge School District and made arrangements to use the Woodridge Middle School (Library). Woodridge Middle School is located at 4451 Quick Rd. The (P.O Box) address is listed as Peninsula, Ohio 44264, but the Woodridge Middle School is located in Cuyahoga Falls, the old Township area. The library is located in the center of the building with restrooms nearby before the library. We will be allowed to sevre refreshments. So, its back to school and feel young again!. Please attend and get to know the new location.
Quick Rd; is located off of State Rd; or as some referr it as Old Eight. Woodridge School Campus is this most noticeable group of buildings on Quick Rd. The Middle School will be on the right side just after the Admin building as you drive North on Quick. Quick angles off State Rd to the left North of Steele’s Corner’s Road just past State 8.

The date still remains the same for the 4th Mon.(monthy, except May/Nov. on the 3rd Mon). The program for Monday, January 23, 2017 meeting will be presented by Ken Starcher (NHS Vice President) will provide a review of all of the interesting NHS publications over the last 50th years of the NHS. A short business meeting will begin around 6:00pm. Also, an event(s)for our 50th Anniversary needs to be planned now and members involved.

November 2016 Meeting

The “Annual Membership Meeeting” of the Northampton Historical Society (NHS)will be on Monday, NOVEMBER 14, 2016!1 at the Old Northampton Town Hall, 851 West Bath Road in Cuyahoga
Falls. Meeting will start at 5:30PM; with a short social time and business review.

Refreshments will be provided. Meeting is moved-up from the 4th Mon. due to Thanksgiving week.

All members past and present should attend!!. There are very vital issues that will be presented
to enable the NHS to move forward into an exciting future.

We all have a shared responsibility to keep the lagacy of the “Founding Members” alive when they planned and establihed the NHS in 1967. They established the NHS for future ‘members’ to preserve, protect and promote our local history, and, allow future generations to learn and enjoy that history.

September of 2017 will be the 50th Anniversary – ‘hallmark year’ for the NHS. Many accomplishments and extreme hardships such as the loss of Adam House and Center School House occurred throughtout the years. However, the previous members always moved forward into the future. The 50th year will have many challenges ahead – but lets include alot of fun & positive accomplishments.

PLEASE ATTEND THE MEETING AND START PLANNING OUR 50TH YEAR.

See you at the meeting,
David Brown, NHS President
