A Call to Armory: Clermont County Historical Society's Housewarming!
Please join your friends, neighbors, and specialists interested in local, architectural, military, or international history and genealogy at our county seat's beautifully restored armory. While others have disappeared, Clermont County's armory is thriving, having been brilliantly adapted to host many functions, from local governance to live music. The Clermont County Historical Society has recently moved in, and we invite anyone interested in a behind-the-scenes tour to stop by for refreshments, a brief talk on the role of armories in our history, and to find your family's name in the amazing ledger books the Village of Batavia has preserved throughout the town's history. This is the first time these volumes will be on public display. Come explore the armory and soaring live music played in the best acoustics in the county!
