Cold War Exhibit
Our newest exhibit features
artifacts, photos and memorabilia from the Cold War Era
The History Center is pleased to announce our newest exhibit. We have several pieces of Ohio wildlife woodcarvings made by master woodcarver Bob Holderman on exhibit in our lobby. Mr. Holderman, a retired Bellefontaine Police Department Sergeant, extensively researched wildlife that have lived in Logan County. He selected some of these animals from our state’s past and present, and reproduced them with his meticulous woodcarving skills and artistry. Many are carved from a single block of wood, including the base of the carving.
​
The History Center has several other pieces of Mr. Holderman’s woodcarvings in our collection. He and his wife, Sharon, have generously loaned their Ohio Wildlife collection to the Logan County History Center.
