The Hamilton Historic Main Street Advisory Board met on June 23 at noon at Studio on the Square for a regularly scheduled meeting. This was the second time the board has had a chance to meet in person, but this time with a different atmosphere while remaining six feet apart and offering virtual connectivity as an accommodating option.

We hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!

Many of you are ancestors of these important leaders, and many have donated articles of interest to help remind us of how life was many years ago in Hamilton County.
