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.


Our Museum

      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.

      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.

The Museum is in the process of moving to our new location just down the road and will remain closed until further notice. Check this page (or the Western Revserve Model Railroad Museum's page) for more information. Museum hours and location infromation will be posted in the coming weeks.

      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.


Our Traveling Display Visits Hiram House

      The Society’s traveling display made and appearance at the Hiram House Summer Alumni Reunion on Saturday, July 18, 2009. The display featured artifacts, maps, photographs, and a video tape about the Cleveland and Chagrin Falls interurban line which ran through the camp property in the first quarter of the 20th Century. Four Society members were there to answer questions as well as discuss local railway history. Volunteers staffing the event were treated to a walk along the old right-of-way which remains intact on the property. A pleasant day was enjoyed by all that attended.

      The photo below is from our Museum archives. It shows an early Cleveland and Chagrins Falls interurban car traversing Horseshoe Glen, located at the back of the property near State Route 91 (seen in the above photos).
