The Van Wert County Historical Society is growing. We are currently running a capital improvement campaign. We are planning a new building on our campus to house a local history and genealogy research library, additional display spaces, and a large meeting room. The Faces of Big Horn, David Humphreys Miller Collections will be on permeant display in the meeting room.
A special capital improvement fund has been created through the Van Wert County Foundation to manage our campaign. You can also send donations to...
