The Forest Hill Historic Preservation Society has carried out its mission by sponsoring community clean-ups of Forest Hill Park, developing and conducting walking tours of historic sites at Forest Hill, and presenting numerous exhibits and lectures on Forest Hill and the Rockefeller legacy.  The Society inaugurated the “Forest Hill Home and Garden Tour” in 1993; tours are offered biennially to the public.  In 1996 the Society took legal action to stop the clear cutting of 8 acres of woodlands in Forest Hill Park. 

In 1997 The Society sponsored and underwrote the successful nomination of Forest Hill Park to the National Register of Historic Places.  That prestigious designation was conferred by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1998 in recognition of the 1938 Master Plan by A.D. Taylor.

In 1998 Forest Hill Historic Preservation Society and its first three Presidents were presented an Award of Achievement by Northern Ohio Live Magazine “In recognition of outstanding contributions to the quality of life in this region” for the Society’s work on behalf of Forest Hill Park.

The society co-sponsored, with the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, a two-day “Building Doctor” clinic in 2000. This program, held yearly throughout the state, promotes “old building” maintenance and repair.

Forest Hill Historic Preservation Society has twice been an exhibitor at the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s annual conference.  The Society’s most recent function was the October 2004 Rockefeller Summit. This event featured local historians and the Assistant Director of the Rockefeller Archive Center, in a morning of education and outreach.

A planned 2006 clean-up and restoration of the Lee Boulevard section of Forest Hill park that would have included the removal of the unsightly fence and adding plantings similar to the original was thwarted by a last minute denial by East Cleveland.
