Associate Member Reception &
​Parmelee Farmhouse Exhibits

The Historical Society kicked off its summer with an Appreciation Reception for our Associate Members on June 9.  The reception was a 'thank you' for their contributions to the Society throughout the year.

Directors and Associate Members take in exhibits and socialize at the Appreciation Reception on June 9.

The Associates got a preview of the latest exhibit on the history of Post Cards, featuring cards of local interest as well as those with a Killingworth connection - Twinsburg, Ohio, and Kenilworth Castle in England.  Also on display are a wool spinning wheel by Asahel Parmelee, and many kitchen implements that would have been used in a 1840s farmhouse kitchen including: wooden trenchers (plates), knives with bone and antler handles, a burl bowl, and a red ware jug.  Some of these table settings date back to the late 18th century.

The farmhouse was opened to the public following the Associates' Receiption.  These artifacts will be on display all summer during our Open House hours.  See the Events page for dates and times.

Post cards from Twinsburg, Ohio, settled in 1817 by Moses and Aaron Wilcox, identical twins from Killingworth.
