The Calhoun County Historical Society would like to thank all everyone who visited and supported us at the Fall Festival last weekend. We had a great time and shared our room with five home businesses. We will still have some CHS yearbooks on display at the museum on Fridays from 11-2 until we start to decorate for the holidays. Most books are $45.

Two Roses (Rose Holbert Snider and Rose Southall Clegg) were smiling in heaven today! Rose Snider had parlor furniture in her home on Snider Ridge in the early 1900's that was restored by her granddaughter Rose Southall Clegg and her husband Harold in the 1990's. The furniture has been in use in Rose Clegg's home until her death on December 31, 2025. Today, the Snider clan came together to return the furniture to Calhoun county. Jenny, Cindy, and Mike Clegg, Rose's children, donated the furniture to the Calhoun Historical Society. Terry Snider Harris coordinated with the historical society to make a place for it in the museum. Tom and Evelyn Stephens (granddaughter of Nora Snider Burrows) gave of their time to deliver the furniture from Parkersburg to the museum. Many thanks to everyone and especially to the Calhoun County HIstorical Society for making this possible!

Today the Historical Society donated the marble plaque, that was mounted in the entrance of Calhoun High School, to the 1982 Foundation. This plaque was dedicated and placed there after the reconstruction following the February 1942 fire. Amazingly, students returned to to the school less than 11 months after the fire in January 1943.
We were very grateful to have this treasure given to us by previous school owner, Hagan Richards. He took it from the wall to preserve it in case the building was ever demolished.
It has now been returned to its “home” where it belongs.
