OHS Frostville enters new era

Olmsted Historical Society and Frostville Museum are starting on and era that will add a lot to the museum and to their preservation of the past. They will be building a 1830’s replica school house the ground breaking will happen this spring/summer.  And the Thompson house will be moved from Butternut Ridge road to their campus on Cedar Point road by April to make room for the construction of the new combined education complex being built by the North Olmsted Board of Education on Butternut Ridge Rd.

In the OHS by laws they are dedicated to Preserving the Past and the Present for the Future. They have an extensive archive of pictures letters and books on history of Olmsted and its families. It would be a fitting tribute if the use of the Thompson House could be as the Frostville History Center and contain the archives, Military History room and meeting area, as the Thompson's were very important to the founding and growth of North Olmsted. This is the personal opinion of sandisproject.

This will take a lot of work on the part of OHS along with a serious fundraising effort. OHS is looking for new members that would like to help them.

The core group that moved the Church to the Frostville campus is getting older (for some reason that happens) most of the work here is done on weekends.  

Along with all the construction work they will be still doing the usual events including the Farmers Market's and keeping the houses open on Saturdays. 
The Events Committee has put together the 2016 event schedule which will be posted soon.

There are scheduled maintenance items necessary to keep the existing buildings in good condition.  OHS has an awesome workshop that was completed in late 2014. 

If you are willing to help in one of the houses you will be taught the history of the house and their families. Hand books are being created for your reference when answering questions.
