The Greater Milford Area Historical Society announced on May 7 the pending retirement of its administrator, Donna Amann, who will leave the Society once a replacement is on board. Concurrently, the Society is also announcing that it is actively taking applications for an executive director to serve as Amann’s replacement.
“As an avid history buff, I have thoroughly enjoyed my position with GMAHS over the past 18 years,” Donna Amann, GMAHS administrator, said. “It was a tough decision, but it’s time for me to enjoy more time with my family and to pursue a number of personal hobbies.”
During Amann’s time with GMAHS many notable accomplishments have been realized for the Society including:
– Best of the East multi-year winner for best museum/historical site (through Cincy Magazine).
– Expansion of community history-related events and activities (lunch & learn series; cemetery walks; quilt shows; cooperative program with neighboring historical institutions).
– Significant growth in social media presence.
– Establishment of Promont Events initiative to promote the Society’s house museum, Promont, as a venue rental site.
– Notable progression in the Society’s annual fundraiser, Art Affaire.
– Creation of a capital account to support needs of the Society and Promont.
“Donna leaves GMAHS in a strong position for continued growth, and the Society sincerely thanks her for the contributions and leadership,” Sue Radabaugh, board president, GMAHS, commented. “To continue that momentum, an executive director search is underway.”

About Greater Milford Area Historical Society
The Greater Milford Area Historical Society, Inc. (a 501c3, non-profit) was founded in 1967 with the purpose of emphasizing the history of Milford. A small historic museum was started at 114 Main Street. In 1983, the Society relocated to its present location, Promont, located at 906 Main Street, Milford, Ohio. Promont was the home of John M. Pattison, 43rd Governor of Ohio and the only governor from Clermont County. In addition to improvements to the Museum, the Society has expanded its historical programs and collaborative initiatives in the community; and, also broadened its scope to include Miami Township. The GMAHS is especially proud of its Partners-in-Education programs in the Milford schools, an award winning effort of the Society’s volunteers; the project to record oral histories of local residents; genealogy services; and, its annual Art Affaire, Milford’s premier art and fine craft show.
