Things to do in Brimfield BRIMFIELD LION’S CLUB
The Kelso House The Greek Revival style house was built in 1833 by William and Lucy Sawyer Kelso on the southeast corner at the center of Brimfield Township. For more than fifty years the “Union House” or “Old Hotel” as it was called by the early town folk, served as the center of the town’s social activity, with a post office on the main floor and a ballroom on the second floor. After Lucy’s death in 1886 the house became a private residence, last lived in by a granddaughter of the original owners.
In 1961 the property was sold, and to prevent the
demolition of the house the Brimfield Memorial House Association was
formed. The group purchased the building from the Shell Oil Company
for $1.00, and moved it from the center of the township to its
present location, 4158 State Route 43, where it was set on new
foundations and refurbished with much of the original woodwork and
flooring. Later, more land was purchased to house other historic
buildings nestled around the Kelso House. These buildings include
the Michael-Cable Barn (1845), the Boosinger Corn Crib and Granary
(1879), which houses tools of yesteryear’s trades, and a garden
shed. Hopes for a replica of a district schoolhouse are in our
dreams to be added on our site.
Cherokee Park is one of
the greatest things to do in Brimfield Township.
Cherokee
Park offers 120 campsites with 30 amp electric and water hookups.
Choose a sunny, open RV site or one that is shaded by trees.
Pull-thru sites are available for today's larger RVs. The Park is open from April 20th to October 20th this year. The park offers hay rides on Saturday nights weather permitting. Every holiday they have excitement for children and create a great atmosphere with games for all ages. They have Bingo on the weekends and a Recreation Hall with a wonderful fire place.
With Lake Swimming available, you can also fish in the lake or use
the paddle boats. They have shuffleboard, horseshoes, volleyball and
basketball.
Tasting Room Party and Meeting Room
Sunny Hill Golf Course
They have a newly remodeled eating and bar area
overlooking the beautiful front nine. The third nine was built as a
Par 3 or 4 so it could accommodate kids of all ages. If you have a
child that is 16 or younger and they want to golf during the week it
is only $5.00 for nine holes. Sunny Hill Golf and Recreation Center has been under the careful eye of President Joe Repasky for the last eleven years and looks to continue to improve every year. They are planning to have all grass tees at the driving range by next year. If you have questions about pricing and scheduling please call Robin Liggett at 330-673-1785 or 330-676-GOLF and schedule your next outing here in Brimfield Township.

furniture, clothing, books and toys which reflect life in a Western
Reserve township in the mid to late 1800’s.

major means of operating is through membership, donations from the
public, and fund raising. Membership is open to all beginning at
$10.00 for an individual. We are sponsoring a commemorative brick
drive. You may have bricks engraved to honor or remember your loved
ones at a cost of $40.00 for two lines or $50.00 for three lines.
The bricks line the sidewalk near the entrance to our new elevator
at the back of the house. Call us or e-mail us for more information.
