Crystalyn Hutchins from BGSU, who interned at the Museum, is curating the show.

She has selected more than 20 historical images including of the first Findlay Hospital, the fire at the Presbyterian Church, Findlay’s 1886 Gas Jubilee, the Hancock County Court House and others.

The display will feature written information about the buildings and events.
