Organization News

      Our monthly business meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month at the Chardon Chamber of Commerce office, located at 111 South Street, next door to the old Cleveland & Eastern freight depot (just off the south end of the square). Guests are always welcome. Check this page for meeting updates and information about upcoming events.

      The Society also holds an additional mid-month gathering (generally on Tuesday evenings). These are working sessions used for the construction of exhibits at the Western Reserve Model Railroad Museum. The Museum has gratiously provided our group with a display space at their Tyler Boulevard facilty in Mentor, Ohio. The next work session will be held on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 at 6:30 p.m.

      Our Museum space features interpretive displays of the Society’s artifacts, as well as trolley layouts in both 'HO' and 'O' scales. The 'O' scale layout is a work in progress, so be sure to stop by to watch it grow. The photos below were taken at a recent open house at the Museum. Visit their Web Site to learn more about the Museum, and while you're there be sure check their schedule for upcoming Museum events.

      Future plans include the restoration of the Facey Station building which was formerly used on the Eastern Ohio Traction's Chagrin Falls line and the construction of a full scale mock-up of the front end of an Interurban Car for our interpretive display. Check this page for updates on our progress as well as future work session and open house dates.
