GREENFIELD — The Greenfield Historical Society usually has three dinner fundraisers on the first Sunday of January, February and March. This year, the society is going to add one additional meal to raise money for the historic Shiloh Baptist Church preservation in Greenfield.
This is the 150th year anniversary of the Shiloh Baptist Church and after acquiring the building, the historical society has started the renovations to restore the building, built in 1874.
The dinner will be Sunday, April 7 at the Grain & Hay Building from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dine-in or carry-out is available. The menu is ham loaf, cheesy potatoes, coleslaw, green beans, apple cake and dinner roll. A free-will donation will be accepted for this meal.
In the early months of the year is also the society’s membership drive to add to its 408 membership roster. Dues are $15 per year for an individual, $30 for a family. The society sends out newsletters during the year and offers visitations to its several history buildings, Travelers Rest, on Thursday afternoons for education and genealogical research. Its address is P.O. Box 266, Greenfield, OH 45123.
Travelers Rest was built in 1812 and is now a museum located on MacArthur Way in Greenfield.
