The North Baltimore Area Historical Society
to the North Baltimore Area Historical Society
The Society's mission is to discover, collect, preserve, and make accessible material that establishes or illustrates the history of North Baltimore, the surrounding rural Henry Township area including the hamlet of Hammansburg, and Oil Boom era communities such as Eberly and Denver which no longer exist.
We provide educational and archival resources for the community and others both now and in the future. The Society maintains its collections of historical artifacts and archives at the North Baltimore Area Historical Center at 229 North Main Street, North Baltimore, Ohio.
Visit the Center
The center is open to the public every Tuesday 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 Noon. Other times by appointment.
Schedule a tour or meeting by calling (419) 257-2266 or e-mailing nbahs@wcnet.org.
New Items at the Historical Center
Many things have changed at the center. Now on display in the front hall is a copy of an 1888 map of North Baltimore, which has been enlarged so that it is easy to read. See if your home was on the map at that time.
Have you noticed the beautiful wreaths on the center's front door? They greet us each morning and bring smiles to our faces. The wreaths were donated by Caprice Chaney and change with the seasons. Thank you.
Summer Fest Saturday Hours
On Saturday, July 31st, the center will be open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m during North Baltimore's summer festival.
