Edgerton Historical Society
members have been working hard for
a few years cleaning,
painting, reparing and organizing
for their new museum. The
museum is located in the new
Edgerton Village building which is
the former Edgerton High School.
Village officials designated three
rooms for the museum. The rooms
have been
carpeted and painted, and members
moved items salvaged from the
destroyed town hall and opera
house into the museum. The
museum is open by appointment.
Call 419 298-3122 or 419 298-2602. We are grateful to all who have
worked and donated items to this
project.

Reorganized
The Edgerton Historical
Society reorganized in the fall
of 2007 after the original
organization dissolved several
years ago. We usually meet
three or four times each year in the Edgerton
Village Hall on North Michigan Avenue,
Edgerton, Ohio. The meetings start at 7 P.M. and usually last no later than 8:30.
Between 30 and 60 people gather to hear guest speakers, view historic Edgerton photos, view historic Edgerton
artifacts from individual collections, and discuss Edgerton's colorful history.
Our museum, located in the
same building, is open before and
after these meetings. We
also hold an occasional open house
at the museum where visitors can
browse and research. All
gatherings are announced in local
newspapers.
Anyone who is interested in
the history of Edgerton is
welcome to attend the meetings.
