Soldiers’ keepsakes will be on display

Museum of the Soldier will partner with Mercer County Historical Society this weekend on an exhibit and program.

The exhibit at Mercer County Historical Society, 130 E. Market St., Celina, Ohio, will feature soldiers’ “keepsakes,” a historical legacy of service men and women’s mementos from the front. Also included will be an exhibit of M-1 Garand Rifles and The Battle of Fort Recovery memorabilia. The program will run from noon until 4 p.m.

The public is also invited to bring military memorabilia for Museum of the Soldier staff to aid in identification, history and other information.

The event is open to the public. Admission is free. For more information, call (419) 586-6065 or (260) 766-4235.
