The English Governess and Nanny School is located in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. The picturesque village of 4000 residents sits at the edge of Cuyahoga County, about 40 minutes from downtown Cleveland. The town, named for the scenic falls in the center of town, is known for its historic architecture, varied restaurants, interesting antique shopping and art galleries, and its vibrant arts community.
The Village of Chagrin Falls was discovered in the mid-19th century by the early settlers of Connecticut's Western Reserve. These early residents were a largely religious group and several of the village's churches, including the Methodist Church on Franklin Street, date back to this era. The town grew quickly around the falls, along which flour, woolen, and paper mills developed as well as a foundry. The village was incorporated in 1844. Business owners and tradesmen built elaborate brick homes in a variety of styles. Many of these mid-19th century homes have been restored to their original glory and several are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
