On Sale Now! Mill Town on the Chagrin River

We recently purchased a set of 4 photographs off of ebay.  The text on the photo says "Company Street looking towards flag pole. Transient Camp #5 Chagrin Falls Airport, Chagrin Falls Geauga Co. Ohio October 22nd, 1934."  Many of you know that the Chagrin Falls Airport was dedicated in 1932--so Don Barriball decided to investigate.  Read his findings by clicking on the link Transient Camp #5 located in the left column.  You can see all four of these interesting pictures on the Historical Society Facebook page--

The Society has acquired a Henry Church Jr. Painting entitled "The Snufftakers" signed by Church in 1865.  The Ax on the shelf above the painting was forged in Chagrin Falls by Hervey White, circa 1840
