Hicksville’s Historical Society launched its website on January 24, 2006, with a photo gallery and selection of familiar features highlighting Hicksville faces and places. Andrew Haver designed the site and guided its development. Dianne Grimm supplied vintage photos, while Jan Heffelfinger took on duties as photographer for the present day. Mary Smith coordinated research and text.
With frequent requests for information, Historical Society officers were looking for ways to make Hicksville history available in an easily accessible format. Additional features and photos are being readied for the site. Please check back to see our progress, and let us know if you have suggestions or corrections for us.

Our members care for The Land Office and St. Paul’s, research topics of local interest, and maintain a growing collection of photographs and historical artifacts. Past projects include Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame inductions, photographic assistance for the Huber curtain restoration, research for and coaching Youth Theatre workshops, displays and exhibits, Advent services, local photographs for Defiance County projects, “Building Doctors” restoration workshop, tours and speeches, providing resources for historic markers, and other local projects of historical nature.
