Work Day! The Livingston County Preservation Society is holding a Work Day this Saturday, April 6, 2024 at 10am, at the Edgerton home at 609 Polk Street at the corner of Locust Street. Our goal is to fill the dumpster. There is still a lot of trash and debris inside that we need to get out. Please bring some work gloves and be prepared for whatever the weather does! We will also be making use of the City's free dump days this month for the larger items. Please email us at [email protected] if you are available to haul material to the dump on any of those days. Check our Facebook page, Livingston County Preservation Society, for updates.

Chillicothe Hall of Fame: Inducting R. Warren Roberts Feb. 18, 2022 at 1pm in the third floor courtroom. Representative Rusty Black is the sponsor and will be present.
The Livingston County Preservation Society had a great Chillicothe Hall of Fame event in which local architect R. Warren Roberts was officially unveiled and inducted. We want to thank Representative Rusty Black and his wife Karie for sponsoring this exhibit piece. Rodney Mouton shared some background on the Chillicothe Hall of Fame then read the exhibit piece biography. Warren Roberts’ accomplishments were quite impressive! Rep. Black then shared a few words about the importance of our history. Kirsten Mouton closed it out with a call for new nominations. As an added surprise, several descendants of Roberts were present with a scrapbook in tow! It was great to meet and talk to George and Linda Roberts, and Todd and Langdon. Thanks to all who attended. And thank you to the courthouse for letting use the amazing room.
