Current Exhibits

“It Takes A Village: 75 Years of Collecting”

Open Now through mid-March 2025!

In 2024, we celebrated 75 years as the Historical Society in Chagrin Falls. Over the past 75 years, we have had a large number of incredibly dedicated volunteers and staff who have contributed to the preservation of Chagrin Falls history. Our new exhibit, “It Takes A Village: 75 Years of Collecting” celebrates the individuals who have helped us grow. In particular, we highlight the donors who chose to save artifacts of Chagrin Falls history, and donate them so that we may preserve them for future generations of Chagrin Falls residents.

View important artifacts, such as a Civil War uniform and items that survived the Irving House Hotel fire in 1897!

Museum Hours: Thursdays 2-5pm, Fridays & Saturdays 11am-3pm. FREE ADMISSION
