The DAHS board was very fortunate to tour the wonderful exhibit at the First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield marking their 150th year as part of the community. Highlights included the 1877 bell from the original church that was later moved to the 1923 church, the alter piece and stained glass from 1923, and the melodium that used to be transported across the street in a wheelbarrow from the Todd home for services.
