Our Mission
The Louisville-Nimishillen Historical Society (LNHS), founded on May 1, 2010, is one of the youngest historical societies in Stark County. Our mission is to collect, preserve, and share the rich history and heritage of Nimishillen Township and the city of Louisville. Our museum is operated entirely by volunteers.
LNHS offers engaging and educational programs that are open to the public and free of charge. Everyone is invited to attend! We always welcome new volunteers to join us in preserving our community’s story.
