The Clyde Museum has a 1906 Elmore car and an 1896 Elmore bicycle on display in the garage museum. However, we're not the only ones; the Harris-Elmore Public Library in Elmore, Ohio, has a wonderful example of an Elmore car and an Elmore bicycle on display in the front corner of the museum.
They are accessible to the public. You can visit the library during its regular hours to see these spectacular pieces of history.

With the America 250 anniversary in mind, we're pleased to announce that we discovered a third Revolutionary War veteran buried in McPherson Cemetery.
His name was William T. Sargent. He served as a private in Maryland during the Revolution. We are not sure if he served in the Continental Army or in the militia. He also served in the War of 1812. He is buried on the hill where General McPherson's grave is located and is not far from the other two Revolutionary War soldiers buried in McPherson Cemetery, Jacob Daggett and Jacob LeFevre.
With the necessary documentation, we were able to get a brass Revolutionary War flag marker for his grave from the Sandusky County Veterans Services office. We proudly placed it on his grave a couple of weeks ago. We are proud and thankful for all of our veterans, living and passed, from Clyde, Ohio. Thank you for your service!

We want to thank all of those who came out to enjoy a wonderful and relaxing evening of jazz music last evening. The Chris Buzzelli Quartet gave a beautiful performance!

It was a little different this year compared to years past. The group has done mainly instrumentals, but this year two female vocalists were added which performed flawlessly.

Our attendance didn't break any records this month, but approximately 88 wonderful people (coming and going) came out to enjoy some great music and good food.

We have one more concert for the year that will be in September, the date will be posted later, which will be the Gary Meadows Band from the Norwalk area. More information will be posted at a later date.

Thank you again to all who came out and to those who performed!

We are also going to post pictures here of our concert from July with the Jim Sleek & Uptown Country Band. That was a great concert as well with an attendance of 154 people.
