Bay Village Historical Society Lauded for Historical Exhibits

The Bay Village Historical Society was recently the recipient of an Outstanding Achievement Award for historical exhibits from the Ohio Local History Alliance (OLHA).

The award recognized the Revolutionary War and Native American display at the Osborn Learning Center, exploring Indigenous history and the Revolutionary War veterans who settled in Dover Township. Catherine Burke Flament, historical society executive director, accepted the award at the OLHA Annual Meeting in Westerville, OH.
