The Chardon Heritage website is dedicated to discussions related to the Chardon Heritage project in Chardon, Ohio. Chardon is the county seat of Geauga County. The Chardon Heritage Committee is actively reviewing options to replace or remodel the existing log cabin on Chardon Square. This site is primarily a "forum-based" website, intended to improve public feedback regarding this project.
The square, referred to as the Chardon Courthouse Square District, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Chardon Square is of traditional Western Reserve style, allowing a central location in the heart of the city for community involvement.
The existing fake log cabin was built to replicate a real log cabin that served as Geauga County's first courthouse on the square in the early 1800s. Logs were not used in the replica in an effort to cut costs when it was built in the 1960s. It has served the city well as a meeting place, but no longer meets the needs of the Chardon community.
The Committee's current focus is increasing commerce and cultural activity on the square. We are also building financial support and public awareness. |

The Chardon Heritage Committee is excited to announce our first Heritage House fundraising event. This Chinese Auction will occur, in conjunction with Chardon’s Old Glory Days, Friday July 3, 2009 through Saturday July 4, 2009. It will be held at the current log cabin on our historic square. You are invited to participate in a unique Chardon themed-display/basket Chinese Auction. This event is designed to highlight all local entrepreneurial interests as an annual attraction to Old Glory Days. It is your opportunity to creatively design a display basket about your business or make your own creation. Some suggestions would be a salon pampering basket, a professional services basket or an Italian cooking/spices basket. This event will be a fun addition to the already scheduled holiday weekend activities of music, bike decorating, parade, ice cream and children’s games. Tickets will be available at the door for $1.00/each or 6/$5.00. Basket displays can be delivered and set-up at the log cabin Thursday July 2, between 7-9:00pm. The log cabin will be open on 7/3/09 for tickets and basket display viewing 11:00am – 3:00pm and 6 – 9:00pm, during the band concert. Tickets and viewing will also be available 11:00am – 5:00pm., on 7/4/09. The drawing will immediately follow the 7/4/09 band concert. Winners need not be present. All proceeds will benefit the future Heritage House. We are asking you to support this auction event in one or more of the following ways: |

City Council Approves Heritage House |

Chardon City Council approved the Heritage House project, and granted permission to the Chardon Heritage Committee to start their fund raising efforts. The design (and other aspects) may be refined as additional feedback is gathered, but the primary style, purpose and footprint have been approved. We will continue to bring feedback and refinements back to City Council for their approval.
Over 25% of the project is currently funded. One of the highest priorities for the Chardon Heritage Committee will be to continue their pursuit for foundation grants. Other marketing efforts will also be launched in the near future.
We will continue to seek community feedback on the project. Please continue to provide your input. |
