History Spotlight: June home
Fremont industrialist David June (1824-1905) is pictured surrounded by family and employees on the front porch of his home on the northeast corner of Birchard and Park avenues in about 1900. June built a fine Victorian house next door in 1884 as a wedding present for his daughter, Carrie, which is now the Sandusky County Historical Society Museum. Where the house seen here stood is the Historical Society gardens, and the ornate gate in front still stands on Birchard Avenue. The museum will be open to the public 1-4 p.m. every Wednesday.

Farm, food, and friends: Perrysburg market celebrates 25 years of growth
The Perrysburg Farmers Market, which draws thousands downtown every Thursday, has grown from a tiny seed planted 25 years ago to a big blooming bouquet of farmers, food, and friends. Cindy Bench, co-owner of Bench Farms in Curtice, Ohio, has been with the market since its meek beginnings. She recalled husband Dave trying to entice customers to come over and see the flowers and produce at their booth when it opened in 1999 on Louisiana Avenue. “He would boil sweet corn on a burner and hand it out for free, trying to get people,” Mrs. Bench said. “When we first started here, we begged for somebody to walk by,” she recalled. “It took about six, seven years for it to develop into something. And now we’re the premiere market.”
