Women of the Year Award, Union Country Club
The Dennison Railroad Depot Museum is pleased to present
the Tuscarawas County Woman of the Year Award in memory
of Lucille Nussdorfer, founder of the Dennison Servicemen's
Canteen that served 1.3 million soldiers during WWII. This
Canteen became an inspiration to other towns across the
country that copied Lucille's efforts and created their
own canteens. The volunteer effort that resulted from Lucille's
spark brought together 6,000 volunteers from eight counties,
and left a reputation of caring and hospitality in our county
that is remembered to this day. For her lasting impact on
our area's history, Lucille was inducted into the Ohio Governor's
Women's Hall of Fame by Governor Voinovich. This award is
given to someone who follows in the footsteps of Lucille
Nussdorfer, founder of the Dennison Canteen, who has made
a significant impact on her community through volunteerism.
