​A Salute to Logan County Veterans Open House
This year’s spring open house, A Salute to Logan County Veterans, will be Sunday, April 27th from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. There will be exhibits throughout the History Center on U.S. military history and Logan County’s roles in this history. The exhibits will include a uniform gallery in the Orr Mansion’s 3rd floor ballroom. This will be our third Salute to Veterans open house. The previous two events were some of the best attended we have ever had.
​
The open house will also be the official debut of the new Cold War exhibit in the Rotating Exhibit Room and a new exhibit in the Business & Industry Room about how Logan County businesses, organizations and individuals have helped with war efforts throughout history. Most importantly, we are having this open house to remember and to thank all of Logan County’s veterans, and those currently serving, for their bravery, dedication, and sacrifice in protecting our country.
​
There will be free refreshments served in the Presidents’ Room
​
​You can also follow us on our Facebook page for updates and previews of the exhibits and stories that will be featured in A Salute to Logan County Veterans in the next few weeks and months.

Cold War Exhibit Coming Soon!
Our newest exhibit will feature
artifacts, photos and memorabilia from the Cold War Era
The History Center is pleased to announce our newest exhibit. We have several pieces of Ohio wildlife woodcarvings made by master woodcarver Bob Holderman on exhibit in our lobby. Mr. Holderman, a retired Bellefontaine Police Department Sergeant, extensively researched wildlife that have lived in Logan County. He selected some of these animals from our state’s past and present, and reproduced them with his meticulous woodcarving skills and artistry. Many are carved from a single block of wood, including the base of the carving.
​
The History Center has several other pieces of Mr. Holderman’s woodcarvings in our collection. He and his wife, Sharon, have generously loaned their Ohio Wildlife collection to the Logan County History Center.
