Here's an interesting aerial photograph of Bluffton prior to the 1960s. The Leland Gerber photo shows College Hall and the Musselman Library. Notice that a drive way is between the library and College Hall.
Also, the library lacks its 1960-era addition. There is no parking lot behind College Hall. Mosiman Hall was probably not yet built.
We invite Icon viewers to offer more observations.
English Lutheran Church invites the community to its Rally Day Celebration and Ice Cream Social Sunday, Sept. 11.
The day will begin at 9 a.m. with an interactive worship event built around the theme of "Sharing the Story of Jesus," followed by an intergenerational time of games, quizzes, and faith-filled fun at 10:15 a.m., according to Kevin Mohr, pastor.
"Then, after lunch, come back and join us for an Ice Cream Social with games and crafts from 2-4 p.m. outside under the tent on the church green space," said Rev. Mohr.
