Historic Homes of Charlestown
There are many historic homes in Charlestown. Several properties, including the home at Springville, have been removed. Use the links here to explore some of this history. This information is taken from the book, Charlestown Community History, published by Clark's Grant Historical Society - 1989, printed by United Christian Press and used with permission of Tamsie Meurer of the Charlestown Library.
Note: Some of these links are not active yet. We hope they soon will be. Future information is planned for area churches and community groups.
