Posted by Paula Scott on June 14, 2023 - 7:16am

Are you a friend of Bluffton history? This is your invitation to join the Bluffton Ohio Historical Society for its June meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 14 at Town Hall.

This group does not yet have "members" while the organization bylaws are being created. Therefore, friends are gathering on the third floor for brief committee reorts and an update the proposed bylaws. 

In anticipation of Friday’s Festival of Wheels on Main Street, the Groman brothers Dan and Darrell will display their antique automobiles for the evening’s program.
