MASSILLON − The historic St. Timothy Episcopal Church will be in the spotlight as part of Ohio History Connection’s “Open Doors” program.
A free tour of the church sanctuary, 226 Third St. SE, is planned from 1 to 3 p.m. Sept. 14.
Ohio Open Doors, held in conjunction with Ohio Arts Council, Ohio Tourism, Ohio Travel Association and Heritage Ohio, features tours of buildings and landmarks in the state as part of a program that runs every two years.
For the Rev. George Baum, the parish’s rector, it is an opportunity for people to see the historic Massillon church that was founded in 1835 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The current 1899 building features three Tiffany windows purchased in the early 1900s, and two larger stained glass windows that were installed when the church was built.
What is the Ohio Open Doors tour?
Church historian Margy Vogt, who also offers historic tours of sites throughout the city, said St. Timothy’s previously was part of Ohio Open Doors in 2018.
