The Richmond Heights Historical Society was honored at the city council meeting on Monday, by having January 2013 designated “Richmond Heights Historical Society Preservation Month."
Resident and city employee Evelyn D. Grant worked with local attorney Richard Ulrich to incorporate The Richmond Heights Historical Society in 1982.
A resolution read by Mayor James Beck stated that Grant collected artifacts, photos, journals and personal histories, which became the foundation of today’s Historical Society’s collections.
