In that same year, six other families came to Brecksville and then shortly thereafter, more families settled. Colonel Breck never settled in the town that was named after him, however, his three sons did. The last member of the Breck family to settle in Brecksville was Dr. Theodore Breck, a great grandson of the Colonel. He practiced medicine in the Breck home on public square until his death in 1934.

We invite you to visit the special memorabilia display at the Brecksville Community Center honoring Dr. Charlie Sifford - a golf legend, trailblazer, and longtime member of our community. As the first African American to earn a PGA Tour card, Dr. Sifford broke barriers in the sport and paved the way for future generations. Though born in North Carolina, he made Brecksville his home for 35 years while serving as the PGA professional at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course. Beyond his achievements on the course, he was a mentor, neighbor, and advocate for fairness, leaving a lasting impact on both golf and the lives of those around him.

We encourage you to explore the display and reflect on the legacy of a man who changed the game and made Brecksville proud. In his honor, the City of Brecksville is also collecting new and gently used golf equipment to donate to First Tee – Cleveland. Please see the flyer for more information!
