Anderson History Room
The History Room is the result of collaboration between the Anderson Township Board of Trustees and the Anderson Township Historical Society. Self-guided tours are available every weekday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. apart from holidays.
The purpose of the room is to demonstrate the evolution of Anderson Township from
pre-historic times to the present. The room includes one of the oldest reminders of the Township’s farming and pioneer heritage.
This reminder is a portion of the corn crib that was salvaged from a structure that was constructed in the early 1800’s and later moved to the corner of Ohio 32 and Clough Pike.
Panels guide the visitor from the Paleo-Indian occupation (14,000 B.C. – 8,000 B.C.) thru later native American occupation periods to modern times. The visitor can view photographs and displays that trace the early settlement of eastern immigrants from about 1790.
Old photographs and objects display township life in the 19th and 20th century.
