MEDIA RELEASE__Fred Steiner formerly of Bluffton and now of Cincinnati [and the founder of the Bluffton Icon and Ada Icon], presented a program in early November 2025 in a club member meeting held in the Cincinnati Union Terminal. Steiner has presented the program several times; it is now available on YouTube.
The presentation titled “The life of my small town changed forever when the railroad arrived” is a narrative of the three railroads that once passed through Bluffton. Those include:
The abandoned Western Ohio Railway, an electric interurban, whose rails are still embedded in concrete under Main Street
The abandoned Akron, Canton and Youngstown Railroad, whose station remains today as a business on North Main Street near the community swimming pool
Norfolk Southern Railroad, which today has one local round-trip freight pass through town

MEDIA RELEASE__The holidays can be a particularly difficult time to cope with the loss of a loved one and the December 6 Tree of Remembrance Memorial Service provides a forum in which families can come together to express their grief but also find peace for years to come.
Holiday music with Riley Creek Strummers is scheduled for Tuesday, December 9, at 1:00 p.m. on the main floor of Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main St. The library has many holiday-themed programs, which can be found on the library events calendar HERE.
FROM FACEBOOK__Let's review the Senior Center winter closing policy.
If Bluffton schools close for winter weather, all activities at the Senior Center are cancelled.
If the school delays, it does not affect activities, but we ask that you use caution.
If you have a question, please don't hesitate to call. If the staff feel safe to do so, they will be in to work. We just ask that you wait until after 9:00 a.m. to call. The staff have to dig themselves out, drive in, open up and clear pathways.
