It was a big day in Cridersville as phase two of the legacy park project got its focal point. It was three-parts structure and two-parts measuring to make one new shelter house at Legacy Park in the village of Cridersville. The 720-square-foot building will now provide the park with restrooms and a multi-use space for community events. The prefab concrete structure from Norwalk Concrete Industries was lifted by a crane and placed into position. The shelter house was made possible by a $300,000 grant from the state of Ohio's biennial capital budget in 2022.
CRIDERSVILLE, OH (WLIO) - The Cridersville Historical Society took time during the Fireman's Jamboree to celebrate the village's veterans.
Last week we told you about the circus coming to Cridersville on August 9th. Unfortunately the Cridersville Historical Society has had to cancel the circus performances for Tuesday evening.
The legacy park gate sits on the site of the former school that was used until 2009 when Wapakoneta City Schools built the new elementary. This project was a collaboration between the village of Cridersville, the Lions Club, and the Historical Society. The gate and the monument are just the beginning, next they would like to build a shelter house with restrooms on the site. The last senior class to graduate from Cridersville was 1966 and the alumni are happy that there is a place to honor their school’s legacy.
The Cridersville Historical Society will be hosting several events including the dedication of the new Legacy Park Gate project. The village was incorporated in 1870 making it recognized by the state as a municipality. Not long after, a school was established and Legacy Park sits where the old high school once sat. The gate is the first of three phases for the park that will provide a space for Cridersville families to flourish for years to come.
An Allen County industry is supporting a small Auglaize County town to continue its legacy.
Cridersville history is rich and filled with fond memories from its community members and that legacy will live on at Legacy Park with its new addition.
