The House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio has adopted a resolution honoring Tallmadge Church on the occasion of its Two Hundredth Anniversary. Originally built in 1825 by Lemuel Porter to serve the Congregational Church of Tallmadge, the church is a notable Federal-style structure featuring a prominent portico and a tall steeple. After the congregation moved to a new location in 1969, the building was donated to the Ohio History Connection in 1971 and is now managed by the City of Tallmadge, which utilizes it for various community events.
The resolution acknowledges the dedication and efforts of those who have maintained and preserved Tallmadge Church, highlighting their commitment to education and history that has allowed the landmark to endure. The church has significantly contributed to the local cultural heritage and quality of life in the area, earning the respect and gratitude of the community. The resolution concludes with congratulations to Tallmadge Church on this significant milestone and best wishes for its future, along with a directive to transmit an authenticated copy of the resolution to the church.
