Paradise
Historical Society's
 

Holiday
Open House
at the Ace Store
Sunday, December 15th
at 2pm
 

The Layton and Newman families will be hosting our Holiday Party again this year.   As in the past, this is a “members only” event.  Members are invited to bring a finger food item to share.  Parking is available on the property.

As members sampled sweets and savories in what was once the boarding house dining room, John Layton shared a photo taken on February 7, 2010, when local residents gathered around that same dining room table to discuss forming Paradise Historical Society.

 

We noted that this wasn’t the first such effort. In the 1980s, legacy-minded neighbors banded together to create a historical society, among them Sandy and Bill Dietz, Helen Dietz, Betty Williams,
and LeeAnn Dyson. They organized displays of historic photos at
Paradise Township building, among other work — and later took part in PHS from the earliest days. 

 

John also recapped meetings over the last year and emphasized
how important new ideas and community involvement are.  He challenges every resident of Paradise to take part — what kind of program would interest you? What would you like to learn about our beautiful Township’s history? How could you put your skills to work to improve the historical society? Let us know!
