About Historic Homes of Defiance
Preserving Defiance History Since 1999
Since 1999, Historic Homes of Defiance has worked to inventory the historic homes found in Defiance County and the commercial structures of Defiance City’s Original Plat. We have worked to place the entire downtown of Defiance on the National Register of Historic Places. Our “Save Our School” Committee worked diligently to bring attention to the historic Defiance High School when it was faced with demolition in2018. Volunteers placed the school on the National Register of Historic Places. We maintain an office currently in the old Legion Building on Clinton Street where we store our research and hold board meetings.

All are welcome! A short business meeting, then Trish Speiser will give a short history of the chapel. There are pews, but feel free to bring a lawnchair.
