Wood County Museum hosts events for Historic Preservation Month in May

The Historic Preservation Commission of Bowling Green held a meeting on April 22, 2025, where members discussed several community-focused initiatives aimed at promoting local history and engagement. One of the highlights was the upcoming Historic Preservation Month in May, which will feature a scavenger hunt designed to encourage residents to explore the city’s historical sites. Participants can obtain maps from various locations, including the city building, the library, and the Chamber of Commerce, with the chance to win prizes in the form of downtown dollars.

In addition to the scavenger hunt, the commission outlined a series of educational events, including a walking tour organized by the Wood County District Public Library on June 7 and a bridal bike tour scheduled for mid-May. These activities aim to foster community involvement and appreciation for Bowling Green's rich history.

The meeting also touched on past events, such as workshops and craft sessions, which have been well-received by the community. Although one planned event at the senior center was canceled due to illness, the commission remains committed to providing engaging programs for residents.

Overall, the discussions at the meeting reflect a strong commitment to preserving and celebrating Bowling Green's historical heritage while actively involving the community in these efforts. As the city prepares for a month of activities, residents are encouraged to participate and connect with their local history.
