Flat Iron, George Street in Arcanum, 1865.
Currently known as the Rose Post. |
The Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society is back to fall hours which are "Open the First Saturday" starting September 6 from 9-noon. We will be set up outside, weather permitting. Look for us on or near the grounds of the AWTHS. In the event of rain, then inside at 123 W. George Street in Arcanum. Come out and check out our display about Arcanum. Our books on Arcanum and businesses will be for sale as well as maps of the walking tour of Arcanum. The map features different historic sites the AWTHS has marked this year including our AWTHS house which was built by Louis Dietrich, Hotel and Saloon, 1894; Ivester House; California House Hotel 1868 which was moved to it's present location; Arcanum's founder's property which is currently where Bill Gunder lives; and the Flat Iron 1865 which is currently the Rose Post. There are also other historic sites and buildings included on the map.
The Tour De Donut will be going on so use caution in this area. Best to approach the town and location from the east or west side. There is construction on South Main. We have a new website format so check us out at
www.arcanumhistoricalsociety.org. Our computer is moved downstairs to view digital files. However, appointments are needed. Call 692-6462 for appointments or if you cannot come in on First Saturday's and need another time for research. We have some recent donations of old photos of Castine from early 1900's. We are currently looking for old photos of the Center old school house on Grubbs Rex Road near Arcanum-Ithaca Road.
