“We hope that many local residents will stop by and visit several of these sites on Sunday, making an afternoon of learning more about our county’s history from our many museums. We so appreciate the collaboration of many of our village historical societies in making history more readily available to our residents and guests alike,” Historical Society administrator Rachel Barber said.

“Auglaize County: In Motion” is the heritage tourism initiative based upon the themes of motion, movement, and transportation reflected in so much Auglaize County history. “In Motion” projects have been funded on three separate occasions by the Ohio Humanities Council, including this year.

Founded in 1963, the Auglaize County Historical Society collects, preserves, interprets, and shares the history of Auglaize County, enriching lives by connecting people and communities to the past and to each other.
