History buffs took the streets Tuesday night in Downtown Wapakoneta to learn more about the rich history of the Auglaize County seat. The Auglaize County Historical Society hosted tours beginning at the Auglaize County Municipal Court and took local residents through Downtown Wapak to learn about some of the buildings they may drive by every single day. The tour included stops at the local post office and the Wapa Theatre as well as various shops and restaurants along East Auglaize Street, and the goal is to let residents learn something new about the city they live in.

Last summer, downtown Wapakoneta became the site of the 101st Gold Star Family Memorial Monument. This year, the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 1126 began a new tradition, holding an hour-long ceremony to honor and share the experiences of those who have received the gold star after a member of their family died during their service.
