Washington Township History is dedicated to the preservation and disseminating of information relating to the history of Hocking County's Washington Township.  This is a not-for-profit (not IRS non-profit, though) venture headed by Chris Burchett, a Washington Township resident.  

     In order to fully learn of the history of the area, it was felt that a Web site project should be undertaken to collect as much information as possible and post it on-line.  Very little information exists about the Township, especially in one central location on-line.  Therefore, it is hoped that this Web site will reach out to those with information and combine everything obtained into one free, public on-line research "center."

     Chris Burchett is currently attending Hocking College, majoring in Business Management.  He has undertaken this Web site on his own time, not connected to any class projects.  It is merely, as he puts it, a way of "serving the community by providing as much area information as possible in one location."  In addition to area history, his other primary hobby focuses on the railroad industry.  Combining the two together, he volunteers extensively, in a variety of capacities, at the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway in Nelsonville, Ohio.

     Any donations received, monetary or otherwise, are used exclusively for the purpose of maintaining the Web site and funding the efforts of uncovering and providing area history to the general public for free.  Please note that donations are, unfortunately, not tax deductible, being a personal project and not a non-profit organization.
