Thank you Enchanted Steps ballroom dancing with Cari Lynn for helping us spread the word about our fundraiser coming up in just ten days!!

, this is more than just a dance and fundraiser - it is a night where we can enjoy a delicious meal, possibly win some cool stuff, and remember/reflect on our "good ol' days" through music, costumes/outfits, by hanging out with your favorite people (and one of the coolest museum staffs around - just sayin' 😉).

We at the Firelands Historical Society would like to extend our deepest thoughts and prayers to the family of Dan Rood, who was a current trustee and a past president of our organization. Words cannot express just how much he will be missed by his family, our organization, the community, and the Firelands area as a whole. He was one of a kind and a true steward of our history. We were exceptionally fortunate to have known him, worked with him, laughed with him, and collaborate with him over these many, many years. Rest in peace, dear friend.
