Eighty years ago, in 1942, the Newton Falls Community Center, located at 52 East Quarry Street, was originally dedicated as a United Services Organization (U.S.O.) facility. The Newton Falls U.S.O. was the first facility in the country specifically designed and constructed to serve not only the military personnel but also the civilian defense workers.
The 10,800 square foot Newton Falls Community Center is owned by the Village of Newton Falls and leased to the Heritage Accord. Heritage Accord is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, incorporated and registered with the State of Ohio. The sole mission of Heritage Accord is to restore, renovate and preserve the Newton Falls Community Center such that it can be reopened and made available for public use.
