MEDINA COUNTY ’49ers

The Weymouth Preservation Society is dedicated to preserving the history and beauty of our historic Medina Township and the village of Weymouth.  Although we lost our home, the 1925 Weymouth School that we restored, due to a tripling of our rent, we continue our research, programs and events, and protecting the artifacts, documents and photographs that we have collected.
