The December 10 meeting of the Bluffton Ohio Historical Society will include a holiday decorating bee with potluck refreshments. Join us at 7:00 p.m. at the 1899 Depot at Buckeye Lake, a.k.a. the Bluffton Sportsmen's Club. The photo featured here is of jeweler N.C. Herr standing outside his shop at the corner of Main St. and Cherry in downtown Bluffton (currently the Twisted Whisk Cafe). This hand colored photo enlargement was displayed in the Cardinal Room at what is now Cha

In 1961, Bluffton was celebrating its centennial and Paul Diller created this chronology beginning in 1831 for the location of his funeral home: Gobel homestead, Gobel General Store, home of D.L. Gobel, first postmaster of Shannon Crogan's Corner, Judge Eaton Homestead, Eat on Grove, D.S. Flick residence, Iron Lantern Inn, Paul Diller Funeral Home. Now that's a "Bluffton Shuffle!" Special thanks to Jim Diller for the photo.
