A NICE TIME TO REMEMBER--

Recently, the Richland County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society hosted an open house to celebrate the reconstruction of the Mansfield Block House. It now sits in a more visible location in South Park, can be seen from Brinkerhoff Ave, and is just south of the park's picnic pavilion. While it is not generally open to visitors it remains an historical, visual treat.

Members of the society, some in period costume, hosted visitors during the openhouse (top photo) while historian Bob Carter (small photo) told guests of the block houses' history. Please stop by Saturday for our story about the event.
