The Bay Village Historical Society was awarded a grant from the Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board in 2020 to support the effort of placing 600 Early Family Papers on our website. The families primarily represented are the Cahoon and Aldrich families, who were early settlers, but includes documents from the Foote, Saddler, Tuttle and Wischmeyer families among others.
The collection includes a wide variety of topics and records, including photographs. Not all items are included on the website, but are available for research.
