The Galion History Center has been pleased to host OSU-Marion student, Micah Harris, as an intern during the 2024 summer season. Micah Harris studies Eastern History at the OSU - Marion campus and has a special interest in WWII. Micah has spent his time at the Galion History Center exploring their WWII collection and helping archive with GHC Curator, Keily Cunningham.

Micah Harris will present his summer project and unveil a new exhibit in the Galion History Museum -"German War Trophies: Confiscated and Looted" that will be open to the public in late July.  The exhibit explores the subject of war trophies in the context of WWII and displays Nazi war trophies such as flags, banners, pins, badges, textiles, weapons, and more brought home by Crawford County WWII Veterans Francis Frye and Robert Christman.

The presentation will take place on Tuesday, July 23rd at 4:00 p.m. at the Historic Grace Church (130 W. Walnut St. Galion.) After the presentation the Galion History Museum located in the Brownella Cottage Carriage House will be open to unveil the new exhibit to the public for the first time!
