Bainbridge History by Nancy Baum

Here's a history of Bainbridge by a long-time resident of Bainbridge. Mrs. Baum was also a music teacher at Bainbridge Elementary (the old building). The history was published in 1994 with the Bainbridge Historical Society providing information, papers and pictures. The illustration on the front cover depicts the falls of Paint Creek, and was done by Dan Crusie.

  1. I grew up in Bainbridge. I sat in Nancy Baum's music classes and remember her being a very good teacher.....and so nice. Is this a book that is available to purchase? I am very interested in buying one if it is. I go to the Festival of Leaves each year and am wondering if this book is available to purchase at the Festival.

    Thanks for any information you can give me.

  2. Alice, there is a copy at the library they will allow you to sign out. It's a wonderful resourse, and worth any effort to get it.

  3. Thank you for answering my message. I live in Wilmington, OH. so it would be hard for me to get the copy from the library in Bainbridge. I do come to the Festival of Leaves each Fall if I am well enough. Maybe I can at least check it out for a couple of days to peruse it while I am there.

  4. I live in Fairfield, PA, and signed up for a Ross co. library card, issued on the spot. I devoured the book, taking copious notes and returned it two days later, before my departure from the area. No excuses... you need to see this book ....just do it. ;-)
