(11-9-24) — The Auglaize County Historical Society recently installed a mural near the intersection of Park Street and Auglaize Street in downtown Wapakoneta depicting what the location would have looked like in the early 20th century.

The 6 1/2 by 10-foot full-color mural is the beginning of the historical society’s initiative called Picture Yourself in Auglaize County, according to historical society director Rachel Barber. The mural was able to be put up because of a grant from the Wapakoneta Area Community Foundation and several individual donors.
