The Ashland County Wildlife Conservation League is on a Mission to Protect our History

Joe Lyons • January 16, 2024

The Ashland County Wildlife Conservation League (ACWCL), located at 1930 County Road 1035, Ashland, OH 44805, is currently accepting sponsorships to match the grant amount needed to proceed with an important project.

As an organization driven by a homestead preservation mission, ACWCL is committed to conservation, preservation, restoration, and honoring those who came before us. Their goal is to preserve the past while moving towards a more sustainable future and educating the next generation.

One particular project involves a 200-year-old log home that overlooks the ponds. This rare two-story log cabin is in desperate need of electricity, and the homestead committee and Andy McClure are planning to make that happen. The log cabin represents a significant piece of Ashland’s history and will not only be used for educational purposes but also for the enjoyment of future generations.

Thanks to a Community Grant of $7,500 from the Ashland County Community Foundation, ACWCL is on its way to completing the historic homestead log house electric installation. However, they are still accepting sponsorships to ensure the successful completion of this project.

On Thursday, January 18 at 6:30 pm, ACWCL is inviting everyone to the kick-off event, providing an opportunity to witness the importance of this project firsthand and experience the rich history within this historic homestead log house.
