COMMUIVITY PARTNERSHIPS AND MEMBERSHIPS <br />In recent years, the Landmarks Commission has worked hard to form partnerships with other city <br />government groups. Along with the Planning Department, the Commission continues a working <br />relationship with the Mayor, City Council, and other boards and commissions. Specifically, joint <br />projects continued to strengthen the partnership with the Cultural Activities Commission in <br />2009. The Landmark Commission's membership includes a member of City Council and two <br />members of the Planning and Design Commission. <br />Amongst its members, the Landmarks Commission continues to boast a wide range of <br />memberships and community involvement. These include but are not limited to the Ohio <br />Historical Society, the Cleveland Restoration Society, the Olmsted Historical Society, the <br />Cleveland Metroparks, North Olmsted Kiwanis, the North Olmsted City Schools, the North <br />Olmsted High School Key Club, and the North Olmsted High School SITES Program. <br />The City of North Olmsted is <br />fortunate to have an active <br />historical society. The <br />Olmsted Historical Society <br />operates the Frostville <br />Museum, which is located in <br />North Olmsted within the <br />boundaries of the Rocky <br />River Reservation of the <br />Cleveland Metroparks. The <br />Museum consists of several <br />of the oldest historic homes <br />of North Olmsted. Many of <br />these have been moved to the <br />site over the last 50 years. In <br />2009, the Olmsted Historical <br />Society continued its fine work at the Frostville Museum. In early 2010, the Society will be <br />opening its restroom facilities, which was a major project for 2009. <br />The Olmsted Historical Society is the second busiest affiliate of the Metroparks system. The <br />Society enjoys a membership of over 100 with more than 50 active members. The Society <br />directly sponsors or assists with about 12 public events each year at Frostville. More than 30,000 <br />people visit the museum annually. The Landmarks Commission is a member of the Society and <br />several Commissioners are individual members. This includes the President of the Society for <br />2009 and the Society Archivist, who also sit on the Board of Directors. <br />Olmsted Historical Societv and Frostville Museum
