Perhaps you have seen some historical artifacts in Bluffton storefronts over the last year. Those displays have been presented by the Bluffton Ohio Historical Society (BOHS), which was formed in 2022. On Wednesday night, January 15, the BOHS hosted Show and Tell, Part 1 at the Bluffton Public Library to encourage owners of local artifacts to display them publicly.  Over forty hardy attendees braved the cold and displayed and discussed a variety of local treasures.

Society President Ron Epp kicked off the program and sharing continued at a rapid pace for over an hour. Lithopolis, Oh. Attorney Dan Fox traveled over two hours to be present and gifted the BOHS with a State of Ohio certificate which 1932 Bluffton High School graduate and eventual Ohio Supreme Court Justice Ralph Locher had earned.  “I just knew when I saw this that it needed to be in Bluffton,” said Fox.
