Happy Throwback Thursday! When going through our Heritage Room archives, we uncovered this photo of Chatham Village Market that used to be located on Kelly Rd. Does anyone remember this family-owned chain? It grew to about 50 stores at one point!

Also, a reminder: our Heritage Room will re-open this month!
Join us on Saturday, October 24 from 12pm-2pm.

Documents, photos and other various artifacts have been meticulously organized and categorized in preparation. To celebrate both the re-opening and the city's 75th Anniversary, we will be hosting a panel presentation and discussion on a variety of topics, from the effects of the Interurban Railway to early settlers in the area.
