The Township turned the property over the West Chester – Union Township Historical Society in 2018 to become a center for local history. Through the tireless efforts of the historical society volunteers and financial donors, the History Center will be open for the community.

During the grand opening celebration from 2 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 3, the public will be invited to view community exhibits focused on the 1800s, as well as outdoor displays from the time period.

Firefighters Chili Cook-off

West Chester and Liberty Township firefighters will face off as part of Founders Day events in an epic chili cook-off at West Chester Fire Headquarters. Regardless which department comes out on top, the real winners will be our neighbors in the community.

The firehouse on CincinnatiDayton Road will be open to guests during the June 3rd Founders Walk activities with some chili sampling available and tours of the truck.
