Our Mission
The purpose of this society is to bring together those people interested in history, and especially in the history of Green, Ohio. Understanding the history of our community is basic to our democratic way of life, gives us a better understanding of our state and nation, and promotes a better appreciation of our American Heritage. The Society's functions will be to discover and collect any material which may help establish or illustrate the history of the area: its exploration, settlement, development, and activities in peace and war; its progress in population, wealth, education, arts, science, agriculture, manufactures, trade, and transportation. We collect printed material such as histories, genealogies, biographies, descriptions, gazetteers, directories, newspapers, pamphlets, catalogs, circulars, handbills, programs, and posters; manuscripts, materials such as letters, diaries, journals, memoranda, reminiscences, rosters, service records, account books, charts, surveys and field books; and museum material such as pictures, photographs, paintings, portraits, scenes, and as space may become available, aboriginal relics and material objects, illustrative of life, conditions, events, and activities of the past and present.
The Society will provide for the preservation of such material and for its accessibility, as far as may be feasible, to all who wish to examine or study it, to cooperate with officials in ensuring the preservation and accessibility of the records and archives of the county and of its county and of the cities, towns, villages, and institutions, and to undertake the preservation of historic buildings, monuments, 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.
