Ten years ago this week, Fort Loramie’s landscape changed when the old hotel at the corner of Main and Park Streets was demolished. Built in 1869, the building operated as both a hotel and saloon, serving as a gathering place for new and longtime residents of the German community of Berlin. Originally called The Vondrele House and the Tecklenburg Hotel in the 1800s, it was owned and operated under various names by a number of local residents over the years. It became Seger’s Restaurant in 1955 and eventually closed in 2000 as Loramie Station. Now the former location of the hotel features a plaza dedicated to the Miami-Erie Canal, which passed through Fort Loramie and provided a livelihood for many local businesses like the hotel.

With heavy hearts we're sad to announce the tragic loss of Shari and Sue Elierman yesterday. Shari and Sue were members of the Fort Loramie Historical Association and active supporters. Since 2024 Shari has served as a Board Memeber and our Secretary for the Museum keeping great records of our regular meetings. This past year Shari gave Historical talks at the Lake Loramie State Park to local youth and trained to operate and maintain our historic shuttle loom both pictured in this post. Shari was a dedicated volunteer and great friend of many at the Museum. Volunteering time for the betterment of the community was something that ran strong in them both. The loss of Shari and Sue leaves a hole in the Fort Loramie Community today. The Museum sends our thoughts and prayers to their family and all of their friends. They will be missed.

You can also send a check without the form - just be sure to note Ag Building in the memo line. Our thanks to all who have supported us thus far in this project!

Buckeye Trail hikers Kristy Harner of Xenia and Pam Denning of Beavercreek passed through town this morning. They are section-hiking the trail and plan to continue with longer hikes this fall. Say hello if you see them!
