The COVID-19 pandemic caused us to cancel our monthly meetings in March, April, May, August, October, and November. In June and July we were able to meet outside with more than 6 feet between members, while also wearing masks. And in September the good weather made it possible for us to meet for the first time at the Heritage House. The meeting was held outside, members maintained at least 6 feet distance and wore masks. Since the last posting, a lot of updates have been happening on the exterior and interior of the Heritage House. View the slideshows below for more information ~~~pictures coming soon~~~

Ken Howard was hired and all the vinyl siding has been installed. Ralph Arrick volunteered to pay for new gutters and those have been installed. Thank you, Mr. Arrick! The ground has been broken for the courtyard. Earl Canter volunteered and used his machinery to make this happen. Thank you, Mr. Canter! John Smith, Steve Turner, and Jeff Bell have also volunteered a lot of labor to see this courtyard become a reality. Thank you Mr. Smith, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Bell! The concrete for the side porch and wheelchair ramps have been poured. Tim Shephard volunteered to powder-coat and paint the old radiators. Thank you, Mr. Shephard! David Flowers will be installing concrete slabs for our repurposed radiator benches to be installed in our courtyard. Thank you, Mr. Flowers! Jim Dempsey, owner of Southern Ohio Fence Company, has volunteered to donate wrought-iron fencing for our courtyard. The design will be similar to what his company installed in the Greenlawn Cemetery Memorial Gardens. Thank you, Mr. Dempsey!

Jason Crabtree and Todd Crabtree, owner's of Crabtree's Carpet, volunteered to search for tile to restore the original fireplace located inside the house. Unbelievably, they were able to match the exiting tile and cut it into the sizes needed for the project. And they didn't stop there. They donated all of their time, resources, and labor! We truly are feeling very blessed and grateful! The pictures of of the tile work that was completed today. When the grout dries we will be able to clean the area and complete the process. Again, thank you Crabtree's Carpet.

"Studying the history of our piece of land platted it in 1909 and the history of the house built in 1910 is fascinating to me. I created a timeline that shows who lived in the house and for how long. Eventually, we would like to have pictures of all those who made their home there. We now have a picture of the first occupants Leonora Marsh Campbell, her husband and daughter, a picture of the second owner, Simon Benner, and the third owner, Edward Russell. We need a picture of the Sullivan family and Jack Davis. Below you see my homemade timeline. I have made one correction and two additions."

During a recent rain storm, water ran down into the basement. It became apparent that new gutters and a French drain were needed to correct the situation. Two incredibly kind families volunteered to donate the funds needed for the repairs. Ralph Arrick, of Arrick's Propane, funded the new gutters and Earl & Kristy Canter funded the French drains. Earl has been involved in the construction and remodeling of the Heritage House since the beginning. He has donated the use of his equipment, expertise, and time on many projects. For example, he dug the trenches for the French drains and strengthened the floor joists so permanent flooring could be installed. Thank you Ralph Arrick and Earl & Kristy Canter for helping to make the Heritage House a reality.

John Smith has been plugging away behind the scenes on everything from fundraising, grant writing, construction on the Heritage House, to facilitating oral interviews between Valley students and local students. Right now he is using the donated paint, by Jeff Foster, to paint the gable.

We want to give a big shout out to Jeff Foster who said “tell me what you need". He paid for the needed paint and included surplus paint. Thank you so much, Jeff. He is the son of Fred and Pat Sullivan, and Fred’s family lived in The Heritage House for many years. We plan to use the paint on the original siding and older eaves in order to be as frugal as possible.

One of the highlights of the January LAHS meeting was the naming of our future home, which is located at 291 West Street, in the historic area of Lucasville.
Our home is now The Heritage House!
Another highlight was hearing about all of the improvements during Phase I: a new roof, partial removal of an exterior chimney, framing of the new storage room, and replacement of some of the exterior walls. In the future, Phase II will also include restoration of flooring, replacement of windows, and updating the exterior; plus, electric, plumbing, and various interior tasks. We sincerely appreciate the time and talent that has been donated by many Lucasville citizens! Thank you! Finishing Phase I will not be possible without funding.
The entire project is estimated to cost $90,000.
If possible, please consider becoming a Heritage Hero
by making a tax deductible, monetary commitment
toward preserving our history for future generations.
Heritage Heroes---Donation Levels
One benefactor at $15,000 will have honor of naming Reading & Research Room.
Four benefactors at $10,000 will have honor of naming one of the following areas: the front room, cathedral ceiling room, foyer/entry, or courtyard.
$5,000 to $9,000 benefactors will be honored as Pioneers.

A big day at the future home of the Lucasville Area Historical Society. Our general contractor, Heath Hall, continues to reinforce joists and beams as well as taking out a load bearing wall. (See the picture). The SCCTC building and maintenance class spent today tearing off an old kitchen porch area. (See more pics.) Thank you everyone for your support.
