About Us

Cuyahoga Falls Historical Society

For over four decades, the Cuyahoga Falls Historical Society has stood as a cornerstone of our community, dedicated to preserving and celebrating the unique tapestry of our city’s history. As the official stewards of Cuyahoga Falls’ heritage, we’ve committed ourselves to safeguarding the stories, artifacts, and memories that define our past while inspiring a connection to our shared future.

Our Mission

At our core, we are driven by a singular mission: to collect, protect, and share the treasures of our history. Through this work, we aim to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and ensure the legacy of Cuyahoga Falls lives on for generations to come.

What We Do

Located at 2083 Cook Street, the Historical Society’s museum is more than a repository of artifacts—it’s a living tribute to the evolution of our community. Inside, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of photographs, postcards, documents, and relics that breathe life into the story of Cuyahoga Falls.

From tales of early settlers carving out a future to the rise of industry and the moments that shaped our city’s growth, we strive to showcase history in all its vibrancy. We also bring history into the modern age by sharing highlights from our collection—like our popular “blasts from the past”—on social media, keeping our community connected to its roots.
