Edwin Dunham Letters
These letters were written by young Edwin Dunham, son of William Dunham, Mt. Washington grocer and postmaster for a number of years.
Edwin served for a little more than a year – February 1864 to March, 1865 on the USS Ram Avenger, a Ram that patrolled on the Mississipi.By this time the western waters were firmly under control of the Federal Government, so the Union vessel saw very little combat action.
Our Honor Roll
Tell us your story, When did you serve? Where did you serve? This is open to all Anderson Township residents who either served in the armed forces or had a relative who served.

Providing our community with experiences and places to gather, learn and grow.
Places to Visit
Anderson Township was organized in 1793 as part of the Virginia Military District and was bounded by the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers, and the mouth of the Eight Mile Creek to the east.
The township was important during its early days as the site of Flinn’s Ford, the southernmost crossing of the Little Miami River.
Come explore more of our rich history by visiting one of our many historic sites and or research centers.
