This weekend was certainly one to remember and we can't thank our community and all of the visitors enough!


On Saturday night we hosted the Out of the Dark 5K & Fun Run that had 275 runners/walkers from 10 different states participate. On Sunday night we partnered with Eclipse Auto Detailing & Window Tinting to host a free Wally and the Beavs concert at the East Green Amphitheater that had more than 1,000 attendees. On Monday we had 150 couples signed up from all over the country to Elope at the Eclipse at the East Green Amphitheater.


We are so glad that so many visitors chose Seneca County to spend their weekend in totality! To check out some of the photos from the weekend, click here.

We’d like to express our gratitude to each and every one of our members who have renewed their Chamber membership for the month of March! Their commitment to the Chamber not only strengthens the business network but also contributes to the growth and success of our community.

Congratulations to Stemtown Historical Society Museum on the reopening of their new location at 111 South Kansas Street in Green Springs!


The Stemtown Historical Society Museum was founded in 1979 by a group of people who wanted to preserve the town of Green Springs and despite the move, visitors can still explore the museum's impressive collections covering all aspects of local history.


Last year the museum was able to purchase and relocate to the former Calvary United Methodist Church, thanks to a generous donation from longtime educator Bud Rutherford. Bud made the donation in honor of his wife, Maxine Rutherford, who passed away in December of 2019.


The church has undergone minor renovations in anticipation of its grand reopening this spring. These renovations include the construction of a platform to properly showcase the military display, addressing the sloped church floors. Additionally, the basement is being repainted, new safety alarms are being installed, and an outdoor area is being created to house historical firetrucks in the future. These enhancements aim to modernize the facilities while preserving the church's rich history and character.


The museum features various exhibits, highlighting the town's history, a research section where guests can explore decades of issues from the Echo Press (the local newspaper covering small-town life from 1896 to 1979). Military exhibits showcase uniforms and artifacts from the Civil War, World Wars, and beyond. Music enthusiasts can peruse the museum's extensive collection of band scores and sheet music, while a display of vintage yearbooks provides a glimpse into schools of yesteryear. Sports fans can enjoy seeing team memorabilia and meeting Buddy, the museum mascot. To see more pictures of the ribbon cutting, click here.
