Our History:
In 1968 a group of Canal Fulton citizens who were concerned that their local history and tradition would become lost to future generations united together to form the Canal Fulton Heritage Society. It was incorporated as a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization that would “advance, encourage and promote the design, development and preservation of an historically attractive environment fo
r the Village of Canal Fulton, Ohio and its environs.” Since that time, a Board of Trustees, members, and volunteers have worked together to create and maintain the unique attractiveness offered by this historic area. Operations:
The Heritage Society owns and maintains several properties in the area including the William Blank House on Canal Street, built in 1901; the Oberlin House built in 1847; and the Heritage House Museum which displays canal era memorabilia, photos, and history. For 40 years, the Heritage Society operated the Historic Canal Boat rides be-fore passing the operation over to the City of Canal Fulton to continue our legacy. It is only with community involvement and local support that the Heritage Society can continue to fulfill its mission.
