Mahoning Valley Historical Society

Description

Founded in 1875, the Mahoning Valley Historical Society promotes knowledge and discovery of Mahoning Valley history so that the community understands the implications and importance of the lives of people who have inhabited the Valley from the earliest times to the present. MVHS pursues this mission by collecting and preserving local materials of the past, educating and promoting awareness to the largest possible audience, and managing and developing the resources entrusted to MVHS to support its purposes. MVHS operates the Arms Family Museum of Local History, an historic Arts & Crafts style residence formerly owned by Wilford and Olive Arms, the Business and Media Archives of the Mahoning Valley, and an archival library.
