There are some new additions outside in the front yard at the Mogadore Historical Society. Members of the Society began collecting plastic bags late last year to have recycled benches built. We were fortunate to have the first bench donated, and the Historical Society purchased the second one when we fell short of our bag collection goal.

​Many thanks go to the Village Street Department for pouring the cement slabs for the benches. Society volunteers Dick Bauer, Bruce Parker, Bill Lane, Bill Bauer, and Tom Rauber picked the site for the benches and helped move, measure, and install them. Jessie Lane and Brenda Montella then tested them and gave their official approval.
​Special thanks goes out to Michael McCulty who works for Portage County Recycling Center and their bench program.

​Please stop by the house one day at 87 S. Cleveland Avenue, sit down, watch the traffic go by, and wave at your neighbors!

Special thanks to Dr. Tom Adolph for his enlightening presentation at the library! He shared wonderful stories about growing up in Mogadore during the 1940s and ’50s, giving us a glimpse into what life was like for him, his parents, and his grandparents. We learned so much about our village’s history and the people who helped shape it.

Thank you, Dr. Adolph, for sharing your memories and helping us appreciate Mogadore’s rich history! ❤️
