The purpose of the society is to bring together individuals interested in history, particularly the history of Green, Ohio. Understanding the history of our community strengthens our democratic way of life, gives us a better understanding of our state and nation, and deepens us of our American Heritage.
The Society is dedicated to discovering, collecting, preserving, and sharing materials that document and illustrate the history of the Green area, from its exploration and settlement to its growth and development in times of both peace and war. This includes preserving records of the community's progress in population, education, agriculture, business, industry, transportation, the arts, science, and civic life.
Our collections include printed materials such as local histories, genealogies, biographies, newspapers, directories, pamphlets, programs, and posters; manuscripts including letters, diaries, journals, maps, surveys, account books, military records, and other historical documents; as well as photographs, paintings, portraits, artifacts, and other objects that help tell the story of the people, places, and events that have shaped Green's past and present.
The Society is committed to preserving these materials and making them accessible, whenever possible, to researchers, students, and the public. We also work with local officials and institutions to encourage the preservation and accessibility of historical records and archives and support efforts to preserve historic buildings, monuments, landmarks, and markers.
The Society will disseminate historical information and inspire interest in the past by publishing historical material; by holding meetings with pageants, addresses, lectures, papers, and discussion; by marking historic buildings, sites, and trails; and by using the media of radio, television, the Internet and social media to awaken public interest.
