Book Signing at The Massillon Club

Margy Vogt Signs Local History Book at The Massillon Club

Local historian and author Margy Vogt will be at The Massillon Club on Wednesday, December 16, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. to sign her new book, Massillon: Reflections of a Community. The event is open to the public with no reservations.

The new pictorial history of Massillon, Ohio, includes 700 local history images from more than 100 public and private collections in a 240-page hardbound volume spanning the community’s history. Photographs and identifications are arranged on horizontal 12-inch by 9-inch pages in a general chronological order, representing Massillon from the early 1800s to the present. Photographs include downtown views, businesses, fires and floods, carnivals, bridges, people, sports, houses, schools, churches, and more.

The Massillon Club, one of the few remaining city clubs in the nation, is located in a historic downtown Massillon building at 170 Lincoln Way East, next to the historic Lions Lincoln Theatre. Free parking is available on Lincoln Way or in the parking lot behind the building accessed from Federal Avenue Northeast. The book signing will offer an opportunity to see The Massillon Club, itself a historic building, beautifully decorated for Christmas. Dates remain available for private, organizational, and business holiday party bookings; call 330-833-3986.

Reflections is available ($39.90) at the Massillon Museum (121 Lincoln Way East), the Massillon Area Chamber of Commerce office (137 Lincoln Way East), the Village Bookshelf (746 Amherst Road Northeast), and Ernie’s Bike Shop and The Blue Heron at the Lake Avenue Trailhead, all in Massillon.
