A second showing will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at Denison University’s Herrick Hall , with Hofmeister hosting a question-and-answer session after the showing. The film features three soldiers who served alongside Hofmeister, with them sharing why they decided to serve, what they experienced in war and how they made it home, according to the film’s website. “Each time that I was lucky enough to serve alongside them, without being boastful about it, they imparted lessons, hard-fought lessons learned to me at different times, and a lot of those stories formed the basis of what I thought would be worth capturing

Perry County Courthouse renovation earns state historic preservation award

The transformation of an aging 19th-century landmark into a building equipped for modern use has earned statewide recognition. The Perry County Courthouse was one of 12 historic preservation achievements across Ohio honored Nov. 6 with the Ohio History Connection’s 2026 State Historic Preservation Office Awards. The awards recognize projects that demonstrate the value of historic preservation through rehabilitation, stewardship, research and public engagement. According to the Ohio History Connection, the recipients exemplify how thoughtful preservation can strengthen communities while ensuring historic resources remain accessible for future generations. Built in 1887 and designed by architect Richard Yost, the Perry County Courthouse is an example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. A two-year, multimillion-dollar renovation sought to modernize the building without losing its historical architectural features. Renovations included upgrades to accessibility, restrooms, courtrooms and office space, while preserving and restoring some of the courthouse’s most significant architectural elements. One of the most visible projects was the restoration of the grand interior staircase. Part of the staircase was removed in the 1960s to make room for an elevator. As part of the renovation, new cast iron stringers, balustrades, medallions and newel posts were fabricated to match the historic pieces that remain. The courthouse’s main entrance
