MAKE CERTAIN YOU SCROLL DOWN TO THE FOURTH PHOTO - YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE

The Icon has posted these photo previously, but it's summer and let's go back to the Buckeye.

Here's three color views of Buckeye quarry, where swimming was once a Bluffton summer experience. Paul Diller snapped these photos.

The pool was on the east side of the Buckeye. It is included a bath house, baby pool, larger pool going to 6 feet, and the Buckeye quarry for persons who could pass a swim test. The Buckeye had three diving boards.
