🪙 Even President Grant Got His Hands on the 100-Year Coin! 🇺🇸

The Huntington County Historical Society’s 100th Anniversary Coin had a very special visitor!

Ulysses S. Grant, portrayed by Peter Grady, took a moment to hold our commemorative coin celebrating 100 years of the Huntington County Historical Society — 1926–2026.

It was a fitting meeting of history and the present as we celebrated a century of preserving and sharing the stories of Huntington County.

Our traveling coin continues to make its way through the community. If you or your organization wants to be a part of history, let us know!

🪙 The 100-Year Coin Continues Its Journey!

As the coin continues its travels, each stop becomes another small part of Huntington County history.

🪙 TRAVELING COIN #250 CONTINUES ITS JOURNEY!

Our Huntington County Historical Society 100th Anniversary Coin #250 recently made a stop with Pam Burris, a familiar face whose creativity and community spirit have helped make Huntington a more colorful place!

Pam is a local artist and community leader, perhaps best known as the organizer of the Huntington Chalk Walk, an event dedicated to bringing people of all ages together through art. She has also shared her talents with young artists and has been involved in a variety of community projects and celebrations throughout Huntington County.

It seems only fitting that Coin #250 spend a little time with someone who continues to help create Huntington County’s history today!

The coin’s journey isn’t over yet! Watch for where #250 turns up next as it travels around Huntington County before eventually becoming part of the Huntington County 250th time capsule.

Coins are available for purchase at the Huntington History and Education Center!.

We recently received a donation from Mary (Ewing) Sheets whose Father was Henry Jackson Ewing, his father James H. Ewing. The Ewing's built the home on N. Jefferson across from St. Mary Church now owned by the Molitor Family.
The two Items donated, one was a clock from Henry Ewing's 1st grade class in the old school that stood at Jefferson and West Park, the other item is a marble counter top from the Guthler candy store (at the SW corner of N Jefferson and W Park) for their ice cream counter.
