A growing and vital organization that hopes to aid in the revitalization of Old Brooklyn. They named their group the Four Corners Guild. Membership is $5 yearly.
In 1982 a group of people from the Old Brooklyn neighborhood met together at The Glenn Restaurant with the purpose of forming a historical society in this area. In March 1986 the Four Corners Guild filed an Articles of Incorporation with the State of Ohio and changed its name to the Historical Society of Old Brooklyn. The group has continued to be in existence since its inception, and today it is
a growing and vital organization that hopes to help in the revitalization of Old Brooklyn. Please join us in our efforts to preserve and share memories of our rich heritage by becoming a member of the Historical Society of Old Brooklyn. Contact the Society at [email protected].
