Historical Society Finds Space for Stored Items in Logan
The Hocking County Historical Society, lacking a home, moves large donations to the former Junior Fair Building on the fairgrounds after years of storing items in members’ homes. President Ernie Price and members James Frey and Floyd Hiles arranged the move. The group hopes for a brick downtown museum and has raised about $6,000 through dinners, pamphlet sales, and a summer flea market.
