The Bucyrus Historical Society is proud to announce that our Scroggs House Museum has been selected to be an official site in the Ohio Leadership Trail program of America 250-Ohio. We are in the specific "Leadership Trail" classification because of our extensive collection of Lauretta Schimmoler memorabilia. As you should be aware, Ms. Schimmoler, who always considered Bucyrus as her “home,” was the individual whose leadership was behind the origins of the Aerial Fight Nurse program, the forerunner of todays Medivacs, etc. Coincidentally, she also started the Bucyrus airport!
We welcome everyone to our museum to see the large display which is set up to recognize Lauretta Schimmoler’s contribution to aviation in general and specifically the medical link to it for which she laid the foundation. This morning, some of this Society’s board members “sat in” on a video conference outlining the plans for the Ohio Leadership Trail program in the months (and we hope, years) ahead.
Do come and visit our museum, learn about the life and career of Lauretta Schimmoler, a true Ohio Leader, and of course stay tuned for future developments in this exciting program!

It's not too early to mark this November 13th event on your calendar. It will be a good time to view our updated (and some new) exhibits if you've not been by since last year. Remember our refreshments are always alcohol free—for the real grog you'll need to go elsewhere!

Below are some photos from the recent “After Ike” documentary screening at the Massillon Museum. The event was led by the film’s director and producer, Dr. Gregory Maassen from Washington D.C.

Bucyrus, Ohio, has a segment in this national documentary, now available for streaming via PBS. The film is about the 1919 transcontinental military convoy traveling across complete—and many incomplete—portions of the Lincoln Highway’s route.

The Crawford County History Alliance hosted a similar screening event of “After Ike” last Fall.

Celebrate America 250-Ohio!

A little bit of Ohio agriculture, a whole lot of Pickwick charm. 🌾🍎

We’re excited to be featured in America 250 Ohio Ohio Ag-Venture Guide for October’s Food & Farms Month! Thanks to them, Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau , this statewide guide highlights the farms, local food, and agricultural experiences that make Ohio such a special place to explore.

At The Pickwick Place, there’s a little something for everyone — from picking apples in the orchard and flowers in the field to shopping local vendors in The Stalls, enjoying Ohio-grown goods in The Market, grabbing a bite at The Cafe, and making memories together along the way.

We’re PROUD to be part of Ohio’s agricultural story and love sharing a little piece of farm life with everyone who walks through our barn doors. ❤️

Looking for your next adventure? Check out the Ohio Ag-Venture Guide and make The Pickwick Place part of your fall plans! 🌻
