The mission of The Cleveland & Eastern Interurban Historical Society & Museum is to collect, preserve and maintain for study and exhibition the C&E Interurban and the Interurban Railroads of Northeast Ohio, their artifacts, mementos and railway equipment. We also provide a source of information of a scientific, historical and educational nature related to the origin, development and use of transit equipment and operations in the county of Geauga and the counties of North East Ohio from 1899 to 1926.
      The Cleveland & Eastern Interurban Historical Society & Museum was established in April 1993 and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio on December 7, 1995 and granted 501(c) (3) status by the Internal Revenue Service on September 15, 1997.
      We hope to educate the public about a simpler time when the county boasted bustling small towns, busy farms and few paved roads to connect them. A time when a handful of entrepreneurs envisioned a network of shining steel rails and sleek electric trolleys to serve the populace of a growing county. We will use this site to display photographs and materials from member and museum collections and share stories and information about this interesting period of Ohio's transportation history.
      If you are interested in learning more about our organization, we would be pleased to have you attend one of our meetings. We meet at 7:30 P.M. on the first Thursday of each month at the Chardon Chamber of Commerce office at 111 South Street, next door to the old Cleveland & Eastern freight depot (just off the south end of Chardon’s historic town square). Check our Museum News & Events page for schedule updates and future events.
