It's official. Cox Ohio Communications is donating their archive of materials from the Western Star newspaper to the Warren County Historical Society. The physical transfer is scheduled for April 19 (Patriot's Day).
At the time of this writing we are expecting 400 bound issues of the Western Star from roughly 1876 to 2002, numerous file cabinets of Western Star photos and a very large collection of mug shots. The items will go into storage is our climate controlled vaults and a crew of volunteers will begin scanning them into database. Hopefully, by this time next year we will have the photos all catalogued in a searchable format.

Interest in Mary Haven and Mary Ann Klingling's will is still strong in our community. The Warren County Historical Society has had an exhibit featuring Ms. Klingling and Mary Haven on display for most of the past year. It will remain on display through the end of April. If you are interested in knowing more about this interesting woman and her legacy visit the Museum. We are open free on Saturdays though the month of March.
