About Us
The Roseville Historical Society museum is a repository for a collection of class photos, yearbooks, diplomas, and other memorabilia from all three buildings that were once called Roseville High School. The last graduating class from Roseville High School was in 1970. With the help of our members, volunteers, the community of Roseville, and others, we have been able to gather and preserve photographs, newspapers, postcards, maps, books, household objects, pottery, glass, textiles, military items, and written and oral histories of families and businesses that once thrived in the village of Roseville, Ohio. We also have the only collection of Leslie Cope (1913 – 2002) art and artifacts that came directly from the Cope Gallery, which closed in 2013.
