Fun Fact Friday: The stained glass piece in Legacy Hall (created by Kokomo Opalescent Glass) was part of a large window in the Emerson Building's auditorium. It wasn't marked for preservation since it had been enclosed, and no one knew the glass was there. Although their company told the demolition crew not to save it due to time constraints, one contractor decided to save the center section and gave it to Diane Lind. She and her husband stored it for future community use. Dr. Tom Guernsey, Fostoria BOE President, spearheaded its restoration, completed by Bigelow Glass Company in Findlay, Ohio.

Fun Fact Friday: This bell, manufactured in 1878 by the McShane Bell Foundry, was saved when the Emerson building was demolished and stored at Seneca Mill Work from 1994-2021. This important artifact was driven to the original manufacturer in Missouri by our Director of Operations, David Hossler, to be restored. The bell is now housed in our Legacy Hall.
