WCRTA - THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS OF SERVICE

The Warren County RTA, organized in 1971, carries on a commitment to education in Warren County which began in 1798, with the completion of a log school house built by pioneer neighbors in the Lebanon area. Lebanon was also the home of Southwestern Normal School, a teachers’ college which graduated 80,000 students from 1855 to 1915.

A charter member of WCRTA, Burnett Butterworth, was a descendant of Henry T. Butterworth, a conductor on the Underground Railroad. The Butterworth family was among those who arrived in the area in the 1790’s.

Today, WCRTA members volunteer their time and talent to assist in their communities and maintain an active interest in current developments in the field of education. They also monitor and seek to influence organizations that impact the lives of Ohio's retired teachers.
