The Vinton County RTA was organized in August of 1966. That same year the Allensville, Hamden, McArthur, Wilkesville, and Zaleski schools were consolidated into the county-wide Vinton County School System. Now all of our members have taught for the same school system.

The purpose of the VCRTA is to:

• Promote fellowship among the retired teachers of Vinton Co.
• Promote the economic and professional welfare of teachers.
• Sponsor and support such legislation in Ohio which shall contribute to the comfort and welfare of teachers.

Vinton Co. RTA has 24 members. The chapter meets four times a year at the Community Building in McArthur.

Vinton County is very rural and very scenic. We have state parks, covered bridges, quilt barns, iron furnaces and a haunted tunnel.

Everyone is welcome to join our group.
