CONESVILLE – The Franklin Township Board of Trustees had their July 25 meeting in the old East Franklin Township Building located along SR 83 South.

The building was used as a two-year high school from 1915 through 1918. The last trustee meeting in the building was in January 1958. The trustees used to meet there during summer months and had another meeting location during colder months.

It has been used as storage for many years and has recently been restored to look similar to what it looked like when it was East Franklin Hall.

“We are meeting here today to commemorate all those who came before us in the community and helped build the community,” said Larry Boal, trustee. “We appreciate that and wanted to show that appreciation by meeting here.”

Boal also brought old-fashioned drinks for the trustees to cool down due to lack of air conditioning in the building.
