Who We Are
Perry Township, Then & Now
The Perry History Club was formed in April 2007 by citizens passionate about preserving the stories, people, farms, businesses, and landmarks that shaped Perry Township, Stark County, Ohio.
We document local history across two categories: Perry Township History — covering notable residents, historic homes, businesses, and farms — and the ongoing restoration of the 1893 Genoa Schoolhouse.
All are welcome: longtime residents, newcomers, and anyone who cares about where we come from. Monthly meetings are held at the Perry Township Police Department.
