Worth the Drive: "Pro Football in Ohio" at the Troy Hayner Cultural Center

While I know this is obviously a blog about the Darke County OSU Alumni Club, I found it worth mentioning that the Troy Hayner Cultural Center in Troy, Ohio is currently hosting a special exhibit containing artifacts from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton revolving around "Pro Football in Ohio". The NFL was rooted in Ohio (especially Dayton- GO TRIANGLES!) in the 1910's and early 20's and the exhibit helps tell the story about it. On display (Buckeye related) is a small tribute to Troy native and former Buckeye All-American Bob Ferguson and a game-worn Bengals Archie Griffin jersey.

At a short 25 minute drive, it is worth the price of admission: FREE!

This exhibit will include memorabilia on loan from the Canton Pro Football Hall of Fame related to the five early Ohio football teams, the Cleveland Browns, the Cincinnati Bengals, and from Troy’s pro football players including Kris Dielman, Tommy Myers, Tommy Vaughn, Gordon Bell and others.

Go Bucks!
