Steiner asks "If Bluffton is a Swiss community, where are the mountains?" in library presentation

Posted by Staff on October 12, 2022 - 5:12am

If Bluffton is a Swiss community, where are the mountains? is the topic of a presentation given by Fred Steiner at 6 p.m., Monday, Oct. 17, at the Bluffton Public Library.

The talk explores the background of Swiss immigrants who settled the rural area between Bluffton, Pandora, Columbus Grove and Beaverdam, beginning in the 1830s.

In a PowerPoint presentation, Steiner will share stories and photographs of some of these first settlers. He will also provide some of the reasons that the Swiss left Europe for America.
