BOHS debuts with August 10 Bluffton History Day

The Bluffton Ohio Historical Society is the new owner of the popular Bluffton historical website BlufftonForever.com. The announcement was made by Ron Epp, society president, and Fred Steiner, creator of the website.

As a member of the society, Steiner said he sees it as a perfect fit; “I am really happy this new organization is interested in maintaining the website.” Steiner launched BlufftonForever.com in October 2021, shortly after he retired from the Bluffton Icon and Ada Icon. Today, BlufftonForever.com has nearly 600 Bluffton historical photos and stories posted and has experienced over 35,000 viewers from 30 countries.

Epp said that the society gladly accepted the invitation to become the website’s new owner. “It fits our purpose in highlighting Bluffton’s history,” he said. “We plan to retain the historical information already on the site and will continue to add to it,” said Epp.
