Village Plaques
When visiting Century Village at Fryer Park on Orders Road be sure to take a few minutes and read the various plaques throughout the settlement and learn about where the buildings came from and a bit of local history.
Myron Haughn
Myron Haughn is pictured with his prized greyhounds he used to race at the Greyhound Race Track in Grove City. The facility was located where OLPH School sits today. Haughn had a kennel and raced his dogs at numerous tracks back in the 1920s.
Coke Exhibit
There have been many exhibits at the Grove City Welcome Center and Museum over the years but one of the most popular and best attended featured Coca Cola products. The exhibit also included a special anniversary edition Coke train.
Model T Ford
They cost much more today. The Ford Model T touring car on display at the Grove City Welcome Center and Museum originally cost $690. Notice when you visit there is no door on the driver’s side of the vehicle. It has no electric ignition; you had to use a hand crank to start the engine. The 1912 Ford was donated to the city by Louis and Joan Eyerman. It was a regular attraction in the Arts in the Alley Parade for many years.
