The Schoolmarm is waiting to meet you- stop in for a visit!

Join us for a reading of one of our nation's most important documents- the Declaration of Independence.  Mayor Corcoran will start out the reading and others are invited to read a line or two.  Following the reading, those in attendance can sign a copy of the Declaration to be kept in our Historical Society archives […]

Did you know we have 10* Revolutionary War Veterans buried right here in North Ridgeville?  This weekend you can explore a little about these men and their lives in a self-guided tour of both Ridgeville Cemetery (on Center Ridge) and Fields Cemetery (on Lorain Road).  There is little to no parking at either site, so […]

The summer is going by too fast- it's time to catch up on events!  Stop by the library and help us to honor the history of our town!

August is back-to-school month and today you can step back in time and visit a one-room schoolhouse.  Built in 1859 as one of ten district schools here in town, this building served students in both North Ridgeville and Avon.  Stop in for a visit today!
