  • Historical Plaques and Perrysburg's First Plaque Party

    Historical Plaques and Perrysburg's First Plaque Party
    2026/10/23

    BK Barefoot and Adam Porth applied for a historical plaque just two days after buying their 1910 Perrysburg home. Their excitement soon spread to their neighbors and inspired a neighborhood "plaque party."

    In Episode 158 of The Perrysburg Podcast, I talk with BK, Adam, and Dave Kleeberger, who coordinates the historical plaque program for Historic Perrysburg Inc. Together, we explore how these oval plaques celebrate local history and help neighbors connect.

    Dave explains who qualifies for a plaque, how to apply, and how Historic Perrysburg Inc. shares the cost with homeowners. Homes and buildings must be at least 100 years old and located in the City of Perrysburg or Perrysburg Township.

    During our conversation, you'll hear about:

    • The plaques' appearance, materials, and cost
    • Researching your home's construction year, especially when property records list "1900"
    • The application and approval process
    • Choosing where to display your plaque
    • Organizing a plaque party in your own neighborhood

    BK and Adam also share what brought them to Perrysburg, why they enjoy living here, and how they helped five neighboring households receive plaques. Their celebration became an opportunity to exchange stories, meet longtime residents and new homeowners, and appreciate the history surrounding them.

    Whether you own a century-old home or simply enjoy Perrysburg's history and architecture, this conversation offers practical information and a fun story about community.

    Special thanks to Caroline Hoffmann and Joy Studer from Historic Perrysburg Inc. for helping make this episode possible.

  • Rotary in Perrysburg

    Rotary in Perrysburg
    2026/09/04
    What does Rotary do in Perrysburg, and how is the Perrysburg Rotary Club different from the Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation? In Episode 157, I talk with Hallie Nagel, President of the Perrysburg Rotary Club, and Jack Sculfort, Executive Director of the Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation. Hallie is a 25-year Rotarian who began her term as club president in July 2026. Jack has served the foundation in several roles since 2000 and became its Executive Director in 2024. Hallie and Jack explain that the Perrysburg Rotary Club is a service organization whose members contribute their time, talent, and treasure. The Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation is the club's philanthropic arm. As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the foundation receives and invests donations, reviews grant requests, and supports projects and organizations in Perrysburg, throughout Wood County, and beyond. We talk about the foundation's impact, including more than $2.5 million in contributions since 2000. Its support can be seen in Perrysburg Rotary Community Park, local scholarships, Way Public Library, Owens Community College, the 577 Foundation, food-security programs, and Perrysburg's America 250 celebration. Jack also explains how tools such as donor-advised funds, directed donations, and planned giving can help community members support causes that matter to them. Hallie shares the club's 2026–2027 theme, "Create Lasting Impact," and describes its monthly Impact Box collections. We also discuss youth programs, including STRIVE at Penta Career Center, Interact at Perrysburg High School, and Rotaract for college students and young professionals. You'll also hear about several 2026 service projects and community events: September 19: Community Picnic at Fort Meigs Historic Site (PRCF is a Sponsor) https://www.perrysburgoh.gov/353/America-250 September 20: Perrysburg Rotary volunteers at a Garmin Marathon water station along Front Street.October 17: Rotarians, Interact students, and community volunteers build beds for Northwest Ohio children through Let's Build Beds.October 25: Fall into Rotary Park, a free family-friendly event planned for 11:30 a.m.–2 p.m. at Perrysburg Rotary Community Park. Hallie and Jack also explain how someone can visit a Rotary meeting, explore membership, and build genuine relationships while serving the community. Their message is simple: there are many ways to be a good Rotarian, but each one starts with a desire to help.

  • Sips and Stories October 24, 2026

    Sips and Stories October 24, 2026
    2026/08/21
    Mark your Calendar for October 24, 2026! In Episode 156 of The Perrysburg Podcast, Joy Studer and Caroline Hoffmann from Historic Perrysburg, Inc. return to the show to preview Sips & Stories. This free, family-friendly event will take place Saturday, October 24, 2026, 12-6:30 PM as part of Perrysburg's America 250 Celebration. Sips & Stories is part history tour, part live theater, and part citywide adventure. Two vintage-style trolleys—one red and one white—will travel around Perrysburg from noon to 4 p.m. The white trolley offers accessibility accommodations. Local historians Gary Franks and Richard Baranowski will serve as trolley guides. Guests can listen as they share stories about Perrysburg's historic buildings, neighborhoods, churches, landmarks, and residents. The trolleys will make a continuous loop, allowing participants to hop off, explore selected locations, and board another trolley later. Trolley stops and points of interest are expected to include the Spafford House Museum, Fort Meigs, The 577 Foundation, the municipal building, Way Public Library, Perrysburg's historic district, Hood Park, Riverside Park, and other locations. Some places will be official stops, while others will be discussed as the trolleys pass. The trolleys will load on the Louisiana Avenue side of Way Public Library. The library's address is 101 E. Indiana Ave., Perrysburg, OH 43551. A limited number of seats for each departure time may be reserved through a SignUpGenius link on Historic Perrysburg's website. Walk-up passengers will also be welcome when space is available. Even if you do not ride a trolley, there will be plenty to experience on foot. Historical portrayers, reenactors, and storytellers will be stationed throughout downtown Perrysburg. Visitors may encounter notable figures from the past, learn about local architecture, see vintage automobiles, and meet old-fashioned newsies distributing the Sips & Stories Gazette and event maps. Children can collect tokens from participating historical characters. At the end of their adventure, they can take those tokens to O-Deer Diner for free ice cream. The "sips" portion of the event will involve participating downtown restaurants. Some establishments may offer historically themed beverages, and adults can enjoy eligible drinks in DORA cups while strolling through the downtown area. The day will conclude at 5 p.m. on the Commodore Lawn. The storytellers, historical portrayers, and reenactors will gather for a curtain call, and Ryan Wichman will offer an America 250 toast. The Bradberries will perform from 5–6:30 p.m. Historic Perrysburg will also sell merchandise during the event, including its inaugural collector's ornament featuring the Commodore Perry statue. The organization hopes to release a different ornament featuring an iconic piece of Perrysburg history each year for the next decade. During this episode, Joy and Caroline also discuss: How the original Sips & Stories walking tour inspired this expanded eventWhy trolleys make the experience accessible to more peopleThe historians, storytellers, and reenactors bringing local history to lifeHow Sips & Stories will support downtown Perrysburg businessesWhat families can see and do throughout the dayHow to reserve a trolley seat or participate without a reservationWays to support or become involved with Historic Perrysburg, Inc. Residents can preview the white trolley from 4–6 p.m. on Monday, August 24, on the Louisiana Avenue side of Way Public Library. I plan to attend the trolley preview (Monday, Aug 24) and Sips & Stories on Saturday, October 24. If you see me exploring downtown, please stop and introduce yourself. I enjoy meeting my audience! Sips & Stories is organized and hosted by Historic Perrysburg, Inc. with support from community partners, including Experience Perrysburg and the Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation.
