We have now posted a video tour of the Grant-Sawyer Home on our website. It is broken out into two parts covering the two floors. Steve Jackson, SWFCHS President, is your host on the tour.

This 1930 era photo of the John and Margaret Holton Breckenridge farm was taken from an Indian mound on the east side of Jackson Pike, Rt. 104. A car can be seen on the road passing the property and the old homeplace.

Can you identify this location? Once called Dutch Pike, it today would be the intersection of Grove City Road and Broadway. Look closely and you will see the interurban track in the foreground. This picture was taken around 1898. City Hall now occupies the right side of the photo. On the left is where the gazebo is located.

Roberta Camp Albert was 23 years old when she was crowned Miss Ohio in 2007. She lived in Grove City attending the Ohio State University. As part of her competition, she endorsed the theme “Change Our World: Build Character.” She felt it was important to teach young people the difference between right and wrong and help them make the right decisions in life.

Cyrus Seeds received a letter from a cousin Jan. 14, 1864 who was with the Union Army in Alabama. The letter said he had to make a difficult decision about his military service. His commanding officer said if he reenlisted, he would be commissioned a first lieutenant. There was a condition. He could only receive the commission if at least two thirds of the regiment pledged to reenlist. The outcome is unknown but the unidentified letter writer was most likely part of the blockade of Mobile Bay.
