Formally incorporated on August 1, 1968, the Aurora Historical Society really began much earlier in the hearts and minds of many residents who desired to preserve and showcase Auroras interesting past. From the very beginning, the historical society would not have been a viable and thriving institution without the tireless, selfless, and unending contributions of its volunteers. They worked behind the scenes, even before there was a museum, to collect, preserve, and restore historic objects, artifacts, documents, photographs, and memorabilia relating to Aurora and its past. It is impossible to thank all of those volunteers individually but without their contributions the historical society would not be. It is also important to recognize those founding members of the Aurora Historical Society and those dedicated souls who gave financial support to make the offices, museum, and staff possible. Volunteers who serve as docents also deserve special recognition for their contributions to keeping the museum open and our visitors informed. The historical societys mission is to enhance and maintain the community identity of Aurora by preserving and communicating its rich history, and it takes many hard-working people to achieve this goal and bring history to life! All of the wonderful images in this book come from the Aurora Historical Society archives.

When thinking of Aurora, whether about its history or how it exists today, one theme that is consistent and ever present is that of family and friends. Aurora began as a serene spot of wild beauty. Once discovered by restless Easterners, Aurora drew both the family and friends of its newest settlers, as well as those adventurous souls willing to journey out to the virtual edge of civility and begin their lives anew. The following chapter contains the images of many of the descendants of Auroras earliest inhabitants and the scores of Americans whose pioneer spirit drove them to settle here.
Even though Aurora was largely an agricultural village, its residents maintained their New England heritage through their mores and religious beliefs. The Lewis Cochran family lived on what is now Cochran Road and were farmers. They are pictured here from left to right: (first row) Alfred Cochran; (second row) Grace Cochran, Pearl Cochran, and Carrie Cochran; (third row) Mary and Ossie Cochran. The sheep was called Sippy Baa.
The Harmon family traced its Aurora roots back to the early 19th century. Here Calvin Harmon stands in the back of his barn at 1157 Page Road. Harmon, a fourth-generation Auroran, was a longtime member of the Aurora School Board. Harmon School is named in his honor.
Pearl Cochran, daughter of Lewis and Phoebe Ann Stafford Cochran, smiles brightly as she steadies herself on a chair. She is in front of the Riley farm buildings, located on Cochran Road, around 1918.
Ralph Kircher Jr.s attention is distracted as he holds on to a windmill pump. The son of Robert R. and Mary Cochran Kircher, he stands behind the family farmhouse in Aurora.
Sisters Josephine Hurd (left) and Bessie Hurd are seen here aboard the family surrey in Aurora in the early 1900s. Bessie later married Carl Ford and become the mother of longtime Aurora resident Seabury Ford.
Sisters Carrie Riley (left) and Kitty Riley (right), aged 5 and 13 respectively, pose in a photographers studio in 1880. The girls parents were Gurdon and Addie Riley. The Rileys lived on a farm near the end of Cochran Road.
Friends Bessie Hurd (left), Louis Ford, and Josephine Hurd (right) enjoy the rural atmosphere of Aurora as their picture is taken seated on a tree stump. The women are the daughters of Frank and Caroline Hurd.
This group of Aurora girls is dressed for a day of fun in Centerville Mills. From left to right they are (first row) Sister McDonald; (second row) Myrtle Anderson, Mae McDonald, and Mae Russell; (third row) Maude Russell, Adelaide Baker, Louise Durffee, and Marion Anderson. Centerville Mills was a center of early Aurora manufacturing due to the waterfalls. The millpond served as a favorite swimming hole.
Seabury Ford and his sister await a boat ride on Geauga Lake. The lake, originally known as Giles Pond or Picnic Lake, located just at the Aurora border, proved very popular and drew visitors and summer residents from Cleveland, Akron, and other Ohio cities.
Victor S. Hurd rides his homemade tractor, outfitted with license plate, down Garfield Road past the A. B. Hurd general store at Aurora Station. (Garfield Road is also known as State Route 82).
From left to right, Ada Poole, Myrtle Payne, Pauline Cannon, and Clarence Straight stand in front of the Aurora school in 1910. The girls sport the latest fashion of the Gibson girl, complete with hair placed neatly in buns. This building will be converted into Auroras town hall in the 1950s.
