Who We Are
The Alexandria-Monroe Township Historical Society (AMTHS) began in 1979 under the leadership of John and Marsha Madden, Max and Nancy Draper, Curt and Rosemary Ellis, Jim Donahue, and John Noffze, with John Madden as the first president. The all-volunteer AMTHS manages a museum located at 313 North Harrison (across from Horner’s Hometown Market, formerly Cox’s Supermarket). We have a great collection of artifacts created in Alexandria on display including memorabilia from Aladdin Lamp, Lippincott Glass, Edwards & Kildow’s, and Kelly Axe. Other articles relate to our local history, including the Union Traction Co., racing venues (Armscamp Speedway) and events, Knott’s Airport, civic and business leaders, and more!
