Marysville farm electrification marks 25th anniversary
Thirteen farm families near Marysville were honored to open Farm Electrification Week and celebrate the Marysville experimental line's 25th anniversary. Built in 1926 with Ohio State University engineering help, it tested farm electricity viability. Electricity cost then was 11 cents per kilowatt hour, now under 3 cents. The Dayton Power and Light Company sponsors the event, and Ohio Electric Utilities Institute figures noted rapid farm reach since the line began June 10, 1628.
