Preserving the Past for the Future
Glendale Heritage Preservation was founded in 1974 by concerned Glendale citizens when they became aware that there were no safeguards to local property development. GHP immediately began the process of mapping the village and cataloging existing buildings. These efforts and more led to listing of the Glendale Historic District being listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1976. The following year, the district was designated a National Historic Landmark. GHP is located in the 1880 Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad Depot which serves as museum, gift shop, and archive storage facility as well as a meeting place for the organization. As a non-profit corporation, GHP is funded by membership dues, occasional bequests, and grants.

Operated by the Glendale Heritage Preservation, the Museum is housed in the former Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad Depot built in 1880 to replace the original 1854 wooden structure which was leveled by fire. The Village of Glendale and GHP volunteers spent tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of man-hours to restore the depot. It opened as the GHP Museum in May of 1997.
