Sunday, February 1 – OHIO TOWNSHIP DAY

Ohio Township Day is celebrated annually on February 1 to recognize the contributions of township officials and employees, highlighting their role in local government.

Established in 1998, this day highlights

the work of 1,308 townships, which maintain roads, provide fire/police protection,

and serve nearly 35% of Ohio's population. 

Monday, February 2 –

Happy Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day is celebrated annually on February 2. It stems from a Pennsylvania German tradition where a groundhog's shadow, or lack thereof, predicts the arrival of spring.

Event: Thousands gather at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, PA, to see the prediction. 

The Legend: If the groundhog sees his shadow, 6 more weeks of winter follow;                                                                 if not, spring arrives early.

Accuracy:  Punxsutawney Phil's predictions are only correct about 35% to 40% of the time.

Seeking

Colerain Township Items

The Purpose of the Coleraine Historical Society is to acquire

and preserve the historical knowledge and materials of

Colerain Township, Ohio.

The Coleraine Historical Society is seeking items, trinkets, signs, furniture, pictures, documents, etc. that tell the history of Colerain Township.

Have you cleaned your attic or storage area recently?

Have you helped a family member downsize their home?

Recently CHS Members spent time purging items from our storage areas…what we realized is that we had many

“Old” items; but what we really need to concentrate on preserving are:   “Old COLERAIN TOWNSHIP items”.

If you have anything  you would like to donate to our Museum, please email us at   colerainehistorical@outlook.com

Yearbooks Wanted

The Coleraine Historical Society frequently receives requests for COLERAIN and NORTHWEST High School Year Books.

At this point we are seeking all years.

As we expand our collection, we will post the years we are missing on website.

If you have a yearbook you would like to donate to our Museum, please email us at colerainehistorical@outlook.com
