At 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 10, Liz Gordon-Hancock of the Bluffton Ohio Historical Society will ring this large 19th century bell atop Bluffton Town Hall. The sound will kick off 2024 Bluffton History Day presentations on the lawn of Bluffton Presbyterian Church and call out Bluffton's 1923 Studebaker fire truck for a demonstration of 1898 water power. The event is held in honor of the Bluffton Fire Department and is the first public event to be hosted by the historical society, a new nonprofit organization. The event runs from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
