Historic Maple Festival Videos

Recently some rare videos have been unearthed and we are very excited to share them with you! 
​

The Moving Image Research Collections at the University of South Carolina  contacted the Chardon Library about a collection of videos donated to them by Elmer Richards, a vocational instructor from Chardon, Ohio who taught at Spring Valley High School in Columbia SC. The videos include rare footage of the 1st Maple Festival and other classic footage.


There was also another video found in the collection of former Chardon Mayor and Maple Festival President, Robert Eldridge.
​This video is a 1950's era advertisement and shows classic footage of the early Maple Festivals.


Be sure to check out the History page for more!
