Mark your calendar for our next cemetery tour on Saturday, October 12. Suzanne McCabe, Canfield Historical Society President, and Laura Zeh, Curator, will lead a walking tour of the Canfield Village Cemetery. The cemetery was formed in 1810 on property given to “the inhabitants of Canfield” by Elijah Wadsworth and his wife, Rhoda, specifically for the purpose of burying residents. The cemetery, enlarged over the years, continues to serve that purpose today.
This guided tour will highlight original land owners who settled the village in 1798, Veterans of The Revolutionary War, Civil War and World Wars will also be featured. A revealing of Canfield citizens, seemingly ordinary people, but with extraordinary life stories. The walk will begin at 2:00pm, Saturday, October 12. Walkers should park on the east side of the cemetery and meet at the rear of the mausoleum. This tour is free for Canfield Historical Society members. A donation of $5 per person for non-members will add to our cemetery improvement funds.

This landmark on the Green in Canfield has been preserved in the same condition as when Ralph Fowler closed the door for the last time. Mr. Fowler donated the building and contents to the Society and we have worked to be good stewards of the property. Tours are available by appointment.
Membership to the Society is just $30 for an individual, $50 for a family. Memberships help sustain the Society and the work we do in cataloguing and documenting Canfield history. Volunteers are busy scanning every edition of the Mahoning Dispatch, the Society pays for online hosting, allowing everyone access to past issues of this early, local paper.
Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
