The Belmont Historical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of Belmont, one of Dayton's oldest neighborhoods. Founded in 1976, the society has worked tirelessly to document and share the stories of the people, places, and events that have shaped the community over the past two centuries.

The society's headquarters is the Belmont Tower, a historic landmark and former firehouse that has been restored and repurposed as a community gathering place and museum. Inside, visitors can explore exhibits that showcase the area's rich history, including artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays.

In addition to preserving local history, the Belmont Historical Society is also committed to promoting community engagement and education. The society hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including lectures, workshops, and walking tours, that allow residents and visitors alike to learn more about the neighborhood's past and present.
