The Granville Historical Society, in Granville, Ohio, welcomes you to its website. Please use the information and resources presented here to enhance your knowledge of the history of the Granville community.

The mural in the Granville Post Office, painted in 1938 by Wendell Jones, depicts the first Sabbath Service held by the 1805 settlers.

Purpose of the Society:

The Granville Historical Society was founded in 1885 to promote an understanding of the history of the Granville community, to collect and preserve materials relating to Granville's history, to encourage the education of children in this history and to make these materials available to the public. The Society maintains a museum with displays that include many pioneer artifacts and those from the later 19th and from the 20th century. The rich archives of the Society hold original documents and images ranging from the minutes of the company who settled Granville in 1805 to contemporary organizations.
