| Historical Note | The Bay Village Historical Society, Bay Village, Ohio, was established in 1960. In 1973, the city of Bay Village named the society manager of Rose Hill, formerly the Cahoon family home. In addition to the operation of Rose Hill as a museum, the society has collected the family papers of prominent Bay Village families. Each series within the collection consists of the collected documents of a family prominent in Dover Township, Ohio and Bay Village history. The majority of the collection consists of the Aldrich and Cahoon family papers. Aaron Aldrich III setled in Dover (now Westlake), Ohio, in 1816. He later purchased land to the north in what later became Bay Village. The Aldrich family is connected through marriage with several Dover Township families, including Bassett, Foote, and Stevens. Joseph Cahoon settled in Dover Township in 1810, and his descendants figured prominently in Bay Village history. Other family papers and photographs contained in the collection are the Drake, Foote, Koch, Saddler, Tuttle, and Wischmeyer families.
