There will be a driving tour of Auglaize/Goodwin Hollow area where the Fulbright families and their in-laws setting in the early 1800s. This will include a stop at the historical house built by John Fulbright in 1840. We will leave the Hampton Inn at 9:00 AM, and go north on Highway 5 to Highway BB. We will then take Highway BB to Friendship Church and school, then to Goss/Beck crossing of the Glaize to the Fulbright Cemetery and Home. From there, we will take BB to Lark Road, to the Peter Goodwin settlement; back by Liberty Cemetery; then to Hooper Cemetery and Turner School. We will cross the creek again at Miller high water bridge and return to town.
Locations of cemeteries will be pointed out and people may visit them as they wish and have time. Hooper Cemetery is the oldest, most historic cemetery in the area; and snakes, ticks, and poison ivy are a problem this time of year. Some might be interested in going to Stoutland Cemetery, Goodwin Cemetery, Liberty Cemetery, or Fulbright Cemetery. We will return to Lebanon for lunch.
Business meeting: Will be held at 2:30 PM at the Mills Center in Lebanon. At 6:00 PM, the banquet will also be held at the Mills Center. The program at the banquet will be on John Fulbright, son of John and Elizabeth (Coulter) Fulbright. We will have a silent auction to raise money, so please bring any items you wish to donate to the association.
